Now this may sound obvious but If it is a new screen double check that you havent left the protective Coating on the screen, its normally just a thin near translucent plastic panel that protects your screen during transit. (My uncle left his on his laptop and nearly returned it thinking it was faulty)
You could also Try adjusting the brightnes settings on your graphics card, I will need to know what version of windows you are using and what graphics card it is though before I can help you with that.
And failing all of the above it sounds like you need a new monitor  |
firstly it is not a new monitor, it is an old one dad had (we have some many monitors and parts of pc's round the house that it is amazing) so therefore there isnt a film on the screen (i may be dumb but not that dumb)
secondly i wouldnt know how to change the brightness on the graphic card....
windows 98 (very old pc) and no idea what type of graphics card i have
