hi all, I've been a lurker here for a few years and finally registered today. Usually I've been able to find what I needed and then move on, but I haven't had any luck with my current predicament. I purchased a new, 17" MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB blah blah blah, not sure if I should sit here and type out all the specs, but basically it's a new computer, arrived yesterday and I was so excited as it was a replacement for my 15" which was running super slow and didn't have enough screen space as I needed.
Everything about it (the new MBP) is great, except that the screen, at its brightest setting, is considerably dimmer than my older MBP. For me this is maddening... lol... I feel like everything is "off" as far as colors and contrast goes. I have adjusted the brightness, purchased an app from the app store which is supposed to help (it didn't) and I have tried all of the different calibration options, as well as the contrast in the Universal Access settings. From what I can tell, adjusting the contrast a bit has been the most helpful, but still not quite what I need it to be. :-/
I'm considering taking this to the apple store to see if they can remedy this situation, but I thought I would check here first.
Thanks in advance and please let me know if there's any info I should provide that may be of assistance.
