    Hi there,I have been using X200 for a quite a long time now and I feel more and more unhappy about the screen brightness. I was surprised to find a lot of threads, where users were happy with the screen, frankly speaking I find it mediocre.

    Here is a review showing brightness level of Toshiba X200/X205 here Maximum brightenss is 175.3cd/m² - pathetic

    Here is a review of Toshiba X300 showing max brightess 225cd/m² here

    For example, you can improve brightenss on Asus Eee PC 1000HE with an overclocking tool eeectl, its a program as far as i know and it works.

    I haven't found anything for X200, I tried to change brightness level in bios, it lacks this function, as well as any overlocking feature. I am stuck now.

    I will be happy to get any help on this issue. The last thing that came to my mind was to swap X200 and X300 screens. Any ideas?
