    You can't. Only G15's software can do that (by lowering brightness).

    Buy a keyboard cover for an Inspiron 1720 or a Vostro 1700 that doesn't have a cutout for the screen?

    Try getting used to the screen. I was skeptical at first when I bought my G15, but it's proven to be quite useful. The performance monitor and media controls are particularly handy.
