Dell 2007FP Display - not bright when using Digital input

I have been using my Dell 2007FP for the last 2-3 years and it has been outstanding. I have used the Analogue (VGA) Inout. I have just bought a new PC, Acer with 64 bit Vista and I want to use the Digital (DIV-D) Input.

I am using both PC's to transfer data  and I change the input selector on the screen to suit the relevnt PC.

When using the DIV-D input, the screen is unacceptably dark which is a real shame.I have the brightness turned up to 100%

Any ideas as to how I solve this?

    Test the monitor DVI on both PCs. Is it dark on both?

    Sorry Chris not to have replied earlier as have been away.

    I have not been able to test the DVI on both OPC's as the original desktop has no DVI output I am afraid

    Chris-M, I'm having this same issue as well.  I've used the DVI-D input for most of the time that I've owned it.  I have the brightness turned up 100% and it still seems dark.  I have two DVI outputs on my graphics card and both give me the same results.

    Anything else I can try or test?  Does my warranty cover it?  I bought the additional 5 year warranty when I purchased it.

    Thanks.

    Does VGA have the same issue? Yes, you could get a used exchange over this issue. If you only have a monitor order number, you should contact Customer Service. If your monitor was purchased tied to a Dell PC, contact Technical Support. They will need the following -
    Name:
    Email Address:
    Shipping address:
    Phone number:
    Monitor Order number or PC Service Tag number if purchased with a PC:
    Monitor 20 digit PPID number found on the back on a label or on the slider card on the left rear:
    Operating system:
    Video card:
    Video card ports tested:
    Reason:

    My order was a monitor only order and I have my number and receipt. 

    I'll check my VGA input tonight to see if the issue is the same.

    I get the same issue with the VGA input.  I guess I need to give Customer Service a call.

    Strange.. I also have a 2007FP where both analog and digital ins are working fine.  I would guess it could also be a videocard / driver issue.

    I should have clarified that mine is a 2007WFP and not the FP model.

    Chris-M, where would I find the Service Tag on my Dell 2007WFP monitor?  I don't see it.

    It doesn't have one. The order number is how we tie the warranty to the monitor.
