The text on the display is dim or difficult to read
■ Adjust the brightness and contrast using the system keys. For more
information, see “System key combinations” on page 29.
■ Change the display settings. For more information, see “Adjusting the
screen and desktop settings” on page 168.
■ Move your notebook away from sources of electrical interference, such as
televisions, unshielded speakers, microwaves, fluorescent lights, and metal
beams or shelves.
The display has pixels that are always dark or too bright
■ This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in
active-matrix LCD screens. Gateway’s inspection standards keep these to
a minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense
on your display, contact Gateway Technical Support to identify whether
a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.
