Bad screen contrast on a T21

[jpfsanders]

Hi,

I bought a T21 about a year ago, I love that machine so much it has became my main machine now and I do not use my desktop too much lately...

But there's something I discover recently seeing another T21, the quality of the display image I get on mine is very poor.

I think this is because the contrast of the LCD is set too high, the consequence is that color is washed away, color quality is really poor.

Is there a way to change the LCD contrast using some sort of tool???? Or any other way to adjust the screen contrast???

Many Thanks.

yes, turn the gamma on the S3 down to 0.96.
It is in the display menu.

Hi, thanks for your reply...

I have tried that already and the awfull contrast still wipes out the grays...

You need a fresh LCD.

Sounds like the fluorescent lamp is worn out. Read my posting on Tuesday, Feb. 3 on this topic.
