    Maybe you could calibrate you screen

    start menu type in calibration and choose calibarte your display or you could try to chose color management and set a color profile

    does lenovo t500 screen come with "buttons" like menu bettuon? or set brightness button and other stuff?
    becuase in the color calibiration it says "To get started and set basic color setting for your display , press the menu button for your display..."
    and as i continue it ask several stuff to set up from button on the screen which i cant locate..
    what to do?

    try changing the brightness through the windows power settings and see if it changes. Apparently it's a driver issue.
