More than likely if this monitor has been sitting around for awhile, the 
filter capacitors have gone to mush.  Sometimes they can be revived by 
leaving the monitor on for a long period of time <over 24hrs> but usually 
require replacement.  The problem you describe is consistant with low B+ 
going to the flyback transformer which results in low briteness level, 
poor focus, and blooming when the briteness and/or screen level is turned up.
