    I don't understand; maybe it's just my eyes or the light or something, but it seems like my screen has become dimmer than normal lately. No, I did not accidentally edit some brightness settings. I actually haven't been able to find the brightness settings, which I had looked for so as to perhaps solve this problem. XP

    Has anybody else had this problem? And if so, what can be done about it, if anything?

    Most notebooks have short cut keys for brightness. Fn+something to increase and Fn+ something else to decrease.

    Some notebooks automatically dim the display when you are running on battery.
