switch842I think I need to calibrate the monitor on my laptop. The brightness/contrast are just off and it's starting to get a little annoying. But I can't even find where that would be. Help?

-Use the down arrow key while holding the "F8" key to adjust the contrast lower. This will darken your display.
-Use the up arrow key while holding the "F8" key to adjust the contrast higher. This will lighten your display.
