Does the quality of 2001fp depreciate?

[dacubbie]

So I bought a second 2001fp. I have them side by side, one hooked up to my laptop and one to my desktop until I can get my dual display videocard working. Now the new one appears to be much brighter and crisper than my old one (only around 6 months old). What would cause this? Age? Just wondering, as there's quite a bit of difference. Btw, they are both hooked up through the VGA port, so it's not due to one being DVI. Thanks.
