I'm happy to report that my monitor now passes *all* the tests there. Thanks for
the link.

The underlying problem was... human error, naturally. Sometime in the past--
maybe more than a year ago!-- I had actually reduced the brightness AND
contrast-- for the sole purpose of trying to avoid 'burning in' my monitor's
phosphors (IIRC.) That was my thought, anyway-- based on *old* and probably
out-of-date info from decades ago. Then I forgot that I had done it!
