I recently had a fault on a 8 year old Fujitsu AH532 laptop screen where when it is turned on for the first time each day it has purple lines for the first few minutes. By plugging the laptop into an external monitor I found that it was the screen itself which was the issue so purchased a compatible replacement.

The new screen was noticeably dim when compared to the original screen. I checked that it was on full brightness and updated the drivers, still the same. I put the original screen back in and that was fine at normal brightness.

I contacted the supplier to see if they had any ideas, they checked and said that the supplied screen had the same brightness levels in it's spec as the original. I returned it to them they tested it and found no fault. I purchased a different make of compatible screen from a different supplier but found this too is exactly the same, working but noticeably quite dim.

Any ideas?

Thanks
