    Has anyone noticed the screen on the N6010 getting gradually dimmer over time.

    I think mine is.. but I am not sure.

    My cubemate asked me if it was dimmer and since then I have been paranoid about it.

    It still looks bright but I think I am starting to look dim... but maybe I am going crazy cause it still looks fantastic.

    Anyone notice this at all... please tell me I am crazy.

    I got the same felling the other day, but I think it's just an illusion.
    After a while of work it looks less bright. But for example now I just walked in my apartment and switched it on and it looks plenty bright, even too bright for comfort!

    But the thing I noticed about the screen is that the colors are a bit cool. I mean the white is slightly bluish. But I actually like it that way, I always tend to set the colors a bit cool on any screen I use!

    Any others with the same illusion as Pangaea and me?

    I have yet to experience this "sensation" lol I usually notice the screen is dimmer when I boot it when the case feels cold.(when I just got back in doors with my notebook, in which it has been exposed to the great Canadian cold of -20s. lol)
