Is there an adjustment for brightness on a MacBook? The screen on my blackbook looks washed out and I'd like to darken it or up the contrast. Couldn't find the answer in Help.

System Preferences -> Displays -> Color button -> Calibrate

To increase or decrease contrast, I find it more convenient to open "Universal Access" from System Preferences and make the adjustment from there. The third dialog "Display" shows a bar scale going from Normal to Maximum. I have mine adjusted one notch higher than Normal which gives me plenty of contrast even in high lighting. Adjust according to your personal liking.

Regards.
