    Sorry, but it can't be done. I was tweaking around with my replacement Vostro intended to fix the headphone buzzing noise. Unfortunately, the headphone jack still made noise, and they silently gave me the dreaded AUO screen. I tried tweaking the contrast, brightness, and gamma with no success. It was impossible to get rid of the yellowish tint, bad dithering, and horrid backlight.

    Whole story here:
