    Just wondering what others set their screen brightness to, I set mine to 60% on A/C. I know different models/screens have different brightness even at the same level, I just want to have an idea, you can post your laptop model if you like.

    Thanks. [​IMG]

    When on A/C, 100%.

    When on battery, between 10-30%, depending on what I'm doing/where I am.

    And I have a T61.

    Depends on the situation. If I'm at home where the adapter is close by I'll usually be a full brightness. If I'm away and need to conserve battery life I'm usually on four of seven.

    I have a T61p with an LG screen.

    When on A/C, I set it to 75%.
    When on battery, 65%.

    My T400 came with the prettiest, most vivid LG panel I've ever seen in my life, so I can put this crap Samsung T61 on eBay now.

    How much are you expecting to get for it on eBay given its deficiencies?
