How can adjust the lighting and contrast on new Dell Inspiron?

[Liam2009]

I just bought a new Dell Inspiron 1525 1.86 ghz laptop 3 days ago. I noticed that around bright lights in my room, its monitor is not displaying crisp and clear pictures. How can I adjust the monitor's picture and contrast? Many thanks.

Hey there, you can do it thru *Control Panel* > *Display Properties* on your notebook.

Thanks Cin. I'll check on it.

FYI- if you simply want to adjust the brightness of the display, just hold the 'Fn' key and use the Up/Down Arrow keys to make it brighter or dimmer.
