Dell 1720 screen getting dimmer (not much but enough to be an issue). Will replacing screen solve problem?
Hi,
My Inspiron 1720's 1920x1200 TrueLife display (CCFL) is getting a bit dull now. I just wanted to confirm that ordering a new screen is all I need to do to give it some added brightness. I'd estimate that it's about 15-20% less bright than when I bought it. Thanks!

CCFL bulbs do deteriorate with time - if you choose to replace the screen, be sure you replace the inverter as well.

Hi,
I will recommend you to check the brightness in BIOS (system setup):
If the screen is not dull in BIOS, this may be an issue with a video driver. Uninstalling and re installing the video driver may fix this issue:

If the issue still persists, you can also update the system BIOS:
Note: Please save any unsaved data as your system will restart automatically after updating the BIOS. Disconnect all the external peripherals like printer, camera, scanner, external hard drive, flash drive etc. Also, the battery should be charged 10% or above.

Moreover, if this place doesn't have the inverter included, is there a site you would recommend that does or that you would recommend for another reason? I searched in vain for a screen replacement that would be LED backlit, but I guess such things can't be had for my ageing machine!

Yes for all the products which have the inverter in the picture.
