    I have had my HP DV5t for a while now and didn't pay much attention to it, but I have noticed that my screen is not as bright as some of my friends laptops (dell's not hp). And that when I watch a movie from my HDD, the video has a sort of white/or extremely bright quality to it.

    Yeah, same thing with mine. HP LCD screens don't seem as bright as the ones Dell use. What I do is use the Nvidia Control Panel and increase the brightness through the software by 5% and increase the "Digital Vibrance" by 6%.

    It becomes a little brighter. Also, it seems like the infinity display makes it look dimmer, I guess not all the light gets through the extra glass screen. I'm no scientist, but it seems like it when I compare it to a regular dv5t without the infinity screen. It seems brighter than mine.
