how the hell does one change a laptop resolution?? I seem to be on the dark side..(of life..:P) when I go thru that brycetech thing of black/white strips and color strips. can't find where to change the bright/contrast values..and dang..no buttons... HELP!!!

Laptop Resolutions are Set by the LCD used. As an example my IBM ThinkPad 31P is set to 1400 x something. If i reduce the Resoltuion to 800 x 600 than the screen looks Fuzzy Anti-Aliased, because the LCD is not designed for that resolution. I hope I'M making it clear. Laptop LCD's have a maximum resolution that they are set too anything lower looks bad. Now for Contrast, usualy its a combination of FUNCTION Key (FN) plus some symbols that look like Brightness / Contrast like on your PC Monitor.

Yeah, you may ned to refer to your manual for deatils. (it all depends on your laptop) If you don't have the manual, try looking for it online. Can't tell you how many times I had to do that when fixing friends/family's PC, and they can't find their manuals to save their life... AS

AS..unfortunately..I happen to know just where my manual is.. kept safetly with an expired warranty, etc! :P I'll try doing what you two suggested, once I get home. (am on an office PC..nto that the reso here is good either!) Have a toshiba satellite laptop..if that's of any help. will let you know once I get home and work on it... Thanks a billion...

I'm familiar with Toshiba laptops working in I.T. for many years I've used all sorts of models.

analog..looked it up in the books..as well as did what you gusy said..still have the first three blacks as deep black..can't see the diff. In the cmy color bars.. The cyan is slight, the magenta's first two bars are the same and the first three of the yellows completely the same. The rgb's all have the last two bars as same black.. the Whites in all are bright white. There isn't any problem with the lighter shades. I've gone the brightest as I can... have a satellite 1110 toshiba... help. It's two years old..but been kept pretty well..

So try this.

1. Right Click on your Desktop.
2. Choose Properties
3. Select the Tab "Settings" which is the right most tab.
4. Once on that tab on the Bottom Click on the Advanced button
5. Find the Color Tab as illistrated in the pic I'm going to attach.

You can try resetting everything to Default as well and see how it goes.

Toshiba must have switched to nVidia just a little while before I got my laptop.

Analog-x- bless ya!got it..and it's there and it worked! Hooray!! Thank you, thnak you, thank you! Muah! :-) :-)

Your welcome :) I'm glad I was able to help. As a side note, the nVidia Drivers as well have Gamma Settings its just found differently. Cheers.
