Satellite L650-0K5 - How to adjust screen contrast?

Hi guys and gals,
I've searched the L series thread before asking this question, so apologies if I should have looked harder!
The default contrast settings are making blacks appear grey and also whites have a slight blue caste to them. My searches have found that I am not alone, one guy advised that contrast can be adjusted from the Intel Control Panel. Although I can locate this on other branded laptops, this Toshiba doesn't seem to allow me access. Can I override this or is there another way to adjust the screen contrast? I understand usually laptops don't allow this kind of display manipulation, however, the way we see things is a personal thing.
Am I destined to be disatissfied with my beautiful new machine? Please help!
Thanks in advance,
Kaz~

Thank you C3PO, this helps with adjusting the colours and text wonderfully, however, the option to adjust the contrast asks me to adjust using my 'contrast controls on your display'...I am yet to find this on the laptop. I assume this option in the program is only available for desktop display screens .
Thanks so much, I am happier with my screen after the calibration. :)
Getting access to the Intel Control Panel would still be my wish. Photo editing will be painful if I can not adjust the contrast.
Regards,
Kaz~

EDIT TO ADD: Before anyone spends their valuable time searching, I have found from the Intel website, the shortcuts to access their control panel...none of which work on this machine :(

  • How to Adjust iPhone Contrast

    hI,
    I FEEL LOT OF PROBLIM ,I CAN NOT ADJUST THE COTRAST ON IPHONE4.

    While I understand you are trying to help, this is frustrating because I also have this problem yet you answered a question asking about CONTRAST with directions on how to adjust BRIGHTNESS. they are two different things.
    this is generally why TV's have a setting for brightness and contrast. I can't understand why so many people asking about this get answered the same way.
    the brightness setting in iPhone is clear as day. what is not clear or perhaps not even available is a CONTRAST setting.
    I set my brightness so that whites are white. yet the rest goes a bit too dark and perhaps a bit too vivid. I want to adjust so it is not quite so garish, but i can't find a way to do it.
    my other iphone looks lovely. this new one looks way too vivid.

  • Satellite L650 & Win8 - how to go back to Win7?

    I installed windows 8 consumer preview over my windows 7, is there an option to return to windows 7?
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L650-1K2.
    I tried to activate the hdd-recovery by pressing 0 and then turn on the computer but that doesn't work.
    So are there possibilities to return to windows 7?

    If you did not create the recover disk BEFORE upgrading the system to Win 8 then you have no other choice as to order a new Recovery disk from Toshiba

    Option - P.   You can see a little "sun" icon on the P key.  This will bring up a slider screen where you can adjust the brightness.

  • How to adjust screen layout

    When I first open Sg on my Macbook Pro, the screen layout is a mess. I can't find the similar tab that's in Pr that I can drag and move panels and windows around. Is there any way that I can adjust my screen layout? Thanks!

    With a multiple monitor it is really fine but all I run on the second monitor is the "monitors".
    There is a preference to use the 2nd monitor for only that. Its not a rearrangement of the existing panel.
    A single monitor is fine for the GUI control windows, timeline  and scopes  and I cant see a need to spread them off anywhere if one has the 2nd.
    Rant: Big PIA is that SG wont work with my Broadcast monitor via BM cards!  (Premiere and AEFX do.)
    But...Resolve loves it and it works like a dream.

  • How adjust screen brightness in Windows 7?

    I used to use a Windows 98 laptop up to 3+ years ago, but since moving to Mac have largely forgotten how Windows works. I now have Windows 7 on Bootcamp and can't see how to adjust screen brightness. Surely there should be an adjuster on the System Tray (that's what it used to be called) bottom right next to the clock. I'm on 20" iMac with Apple keyboard (the long one with number pad at the right).

    Does the keyboard have brightness controls on the F keys?
    If these do not work: try holding fn and using the F keys.
    If that does now work I have to ask: have you installed the bootcamp software? you need to make a CD (or usb stick) of drivers and software from OSX then boot into wiondows and run it.

  • Adjusting screen brightness and contrast on Satellite L550-113

    I am a visually impaired user and I'm thinking of purchasing the Satellite L550-113, but before I do that I need to be sure that the screen brightness/contrast can be adjusted very easily, preferably via hardware controls as opposed to via the control panel. I also need to be sure that one can make the screen quite dull (i.e. too dull for a non-disabled user).
    Could anyone give advice on how to adjust the screen contrast and brightness on the Toshiba L550-113? Also, does the screen have a glossy or matt finish?
    Any general information on the quality and ease of use of the screen will be extremely useful and highly appreciated! Thank you.

    Hi mate!
    Yes, the screen brightness can easily adjust via FN keys. You have to press FN+F7 to increase the screen brightness and FN+F6 to reduce the screen brightness. Furthermore in Vista power management you can also adjust the screen brightness and save the settings for different power profiles and on batter or on power mode.
    As far as I know Satellite L550 has a gloss finish screen as other Satellite notebooks.
    I hope I could help you a little bit! :)

  • How to adjust external monitor brightness / contrast

    I just recently bought a MacBook Pro, and I am trying to calibrate my Lacie photon20vision (not mark II) but cannot figure out how to adjust the brightness and contrast. The problem lies in that when using the DVI input on the monitor the on screen adjustments are not available. You are required to use software to adjust the levels when using the DVI on this monitor. In Windows I would just go into the driver properties and adjust and all was fine. On my mac I can choose resolution and err, that's it.

    Hi
    I am not too sure if I get to the Windows because screen is damaget so much you cannot see anything, but bo matter what I do external monitor is in power safe mode. And I know for sure the monitor is good - tried on different system and it works.
    The whole idea is I do not need to use this laptop as portable device, I was planning to connect external monitor, keyboard and mouse and use it as office CPU.
