How to convience my manager to.....?

I'm going to use another PC in my company next week. I found that the wording/icon on that monitor is faded, the color also not nice even i have changed the followings:

1. monitor's contrast+brightness

2. highest bit color in the setting

3. use clear type

4. use the suitable resolution (not too big or too small)

5. change the appearance (font+color)

BUT the wording / images still not cleared enough.

No choice, i changed the DPI from normal font to larger(125%), the effect still not good.



The monitor was bought last year only together with the deskpower from ';Fujit_ _'; with only 1 year's warranty that is just few months over. We can't get any replacement hardware or parts free for the monitor.



How do I CONVIENCE the manager to change the monitor for me? To me, it is so obvious (i got 'astimagtism'). To him, it seems nothing wrong.

Is there a free download tester to test the monitor 'performance'? I need something to show him and not just words from my mouth.

Does your company have a health and safety policy on monitors? If it does, you can probably use that to persuade your manager to replace the monitor.



Or as another contributor suggested, swap it with an identical model elsewhere in the office... providing it's not got a company asset number on it.



Or if you are feeling destructive, bring in a strong magnet one morning and use it to warp the shadow mask... bingo, colour all messed up, monitor completely broken now. Oh, no, that's criminal destruction... so how about getting him to look at your 'new' monitor side by side with a good one so the difference is more apparent.



Maybe it's not your astigmatism that makes you sensitive... maybe your manager has really bad eyesight and everything looks washed out and blurry to him? Ask colleagues opinion on the new screen as well.How to convience my manager to.....?
come in early and swap it with his, if he thinks nothing is wrong with it. or look on craigslist and other such places for free monitors. the big box ones are free all the time.
I HAVE NO idea(sorry about the big letters)
