Sony Trinitron CPD-100ES

I have a monitor here, I've had it for probably about 4 years now.
Great monitor, perfect color, just the right sharpness, everything is
fine except the brightness.
It's been like this for quite some time, and until now, it's been
tolerable, because it's been connected to an older PC that could
barely handle XP, so I didn't use it much.
but now that I've gotten a faster PC, I'm noticing that I can't even
watch videos, because its so dark.
I've got the brightness up to full, and it's still far too dark. any
suggestions?
