    definitely sounds like a the monitor's backlight went bad. I found that you could possibly change out your screen's LCD inverter. The link below should be the solution to your problem, but you'll probably have to have some hardware/electronics experience.

    sounds like the LCD backlight has failed. there really isn't anything you can do, you can talk to Acer about getting a replacement, or get a new monitor. Sorry.

    if your monitor options are low/dim that means your monitor is going out. options for a monitor should always stay brighter regardless the settings you have set.

    it could even that you need to change the settings on the monitor and turn up the brightness
