I believe that's what the effect is called. At least when searching
the web by symptom keywords, people used this term to describe problems
I perceived to be the same as mine.

I played with all sorts of adjustments without getting the feeling
that anything should matter. I left everything at its default
setting. However, I have the feeling that it's a little bit less
than it used to be. Could be wrong though. Perhaps I set off a
calibration of sorts. At least I can have a browser and a couple of
terminals open in the foreground now and read all windows
comfortably.

Thanks for replying.
