    Hi guys,

    Sorry for the dumb question. I have my Sony A-240 laptop for a few weeks and I'm very happy with it.

    I just love the Xbrite screen - the images are so crispy. However, I want to change the color settings. Somehow I think the colors need a lit more tweaking in order to fit my tastes...I want them to be more vivid, if you know what I mean.

    How can I do that? I don't see any button in the keyboard for colors (I see for brightness, mute, volume).

    Thanks for your help.

    got the same laptop...great buy. it may be worth your while to acquire (a legal or pirated) version of adobe photoshop. well, adobe gamma more specificically. i'm sure you can download just adobe gamme somewhere on teh net. at any rate, it's an awesome little color adjuster and lets you really get the most out of your XBrite. I've been using it for a while now and would never go back.

    Thanks. I'll give that a try. I got used to tweaking my desktop monitor so it was weird at first when I couldn't set the colors on my notebook.

    Here is a site where you can set up your Gamma setting for free. It works great. I have not bothered with my laptop but have used it on two desktops.
