Hey,

My Vostro screen is really really dim, I've never noticed this until I compared it to other laptops and screens.

I was wondering how is your Vostro 1400? are you happy with the brightness?

I'm not sure what make of a screen I have but I'd gladly buy a new one and replace this one if I knew other screen makes for this model are brighter.

Here's the comparison shot with 1400 vs Vostro 1300, brightness of both is set to max.

check BIOS setup as well there maybe a screen brigtness option when running on Battery and AC

I assume you already tried the Function keys to adjust brightness

Tried all the options and it is connected to AC, the screen just sucks.

it really only leaves the CCFL bulb in the display or the inverter, in this case I would lean towards the CCFL bulb in the display panel

Does seem to be it, unfortunately I don't remember if it was brighter when I bought it new.

I might either get a new lamp or a screen, costs more but lamp is a real PIA to replace.
