    As a title says my Lenovo V100 T2500 screen is way darker than my collegue's Lenovo V100 T7200 screen. What does this mean? Do I need to exchage my LCD? or my Video card is going bad? How do I know for sure that my screen is going bad? And why is this happining. I realized there is something different in my setting for the display property. Does this matter?
    Thanks in advance

    i would recommend checking the model number of your screen using device manager and googling it im sure itll turn up few results
    the difference between your two screen is usually due to different manufacturers if you have any doubt do the same for him too
    and dont forget to try turning up the brightness too

    Also check if there is a newer BIOS for your computer. The available range of brightness settings can vary between BIOS versions as manufacturers fine tune the settings give good battery life at minimum brightness and avoid saturation (with washed out colours) at the maximum brightness.
