    Acer X223HQ washed out colours

    Unfortunately the second of my two Acers has just decided to start dying now after 10 years of service!

    It's working but the colours are really washed out - tested it on multiple computers with exactly the same result. It only has one VGA input, which I've tested with both a direct VGA cable as well as a HDMI -> VGA adapter. Eg with Excel open you can't actually see the grid on some parts of the screen, it's just white, and resetting it/changing calibration doesn't really help.

    I'm going to tear it apart shortly and report my findings - any ideas?

    Many thanks

    EDIT: Pictures attached - nothing obvious found. Caps are all Elites except possibly the big one. Is it possible it's just an aging panel?

    Anyone got any ideas before I launch this one?

    Also daft question - do I actually need to replace the foil tape that I had to peel off? It seems like the entire chassis is held to the display by bolts, so I'm not sure why this would be necessary for grounding?

        I have the GR235H still yeah - it's still in pieces, waiting for caps to arrive before I work on the backlight.
