too dark; Settings are not saved

This monitor has a thin frame. This is where the pros stop. It was bought to replace an old second monitor for my computer, which was mainly used for reading text documents. Screen sharpness is no better than the 7 year old monitor it replaced. Even at 100% brightness, the brightness is not sufficient. Even if I set the brightness [seems to be 80% by default] and the color to sRGB [which makes it kinda a bit brighter] the settings aren't saved when the monitor is turned off and have to be reset every time I turn it on. [The same applies to setting with the application or directly on the monitor]. Then it went to "sleep" a few days ago, but wouldn't turn back on. Disable, disable, enable/disable didn't help. The next day the same thing happened. I have contacted support via email but have not received any assistance. Despite claiming a 4-year guarantee, there is no customer support. Avoid Philips. love lesson
