See if you can change the brightness of the monitor, there should be a button or nipple control at the back to do so. If it's a defective monitor though then you should send it back and get a replacement or refund, since it just got there

If this is anything to go by then (granted it is from 2015, but it may still be relevant);

Then it is likely you'll need to send it back and get a replacement. What is the specific model name of the monitor though?
