Sony Vaio Screen Brightness?

[netibiza]

MY screen doesn't seem as bright as it usually is. I've gone into control panel and it is as bright as poss but really not what it was. I can still see everything but it's annoying. The computer is 8 months old. Is there something I can do, is there something I have undone inadvertantly?

computer power plan setting? (also via control panel)

Turn off the "automatic brightness" settings - this may help.

Auto brightness detects when you've got light near you, so the screen needn't be so bright.

(This is a guess!)

Thanks both, have done but still the same, it's jsut slightoy dimmer than it should be. (So am I apparently!!)

Just to update you , I finally had to "restore" my computer and screen is back to original brightness.
