I purchased a refurbished macbook the screen looks really washed out, I have gone through the calibrations for the screen but unless I have the screen set just right it is really light, any suggestions?

It would be more helpful if you would let all of us know what the details on your Mac are !
Fill out the Sig section and let us know what type of Mac you have. Your spec will give us all a better avenue to tell you what's up -
I have the new 13.3" aluminum macbook, 2.4ghz, 250gb hdd, 2gb ram, illuminated keyboard.

If you are referring to the screen washing out (in terms of the black level) when tilting it towards you then yes, that's the way it is on the Macbook. No amount of calibration is going to fix that. It's a very low contrast screen that Apple puts in the Macbooks because it's made for general purpose computing. Still a great machine though.

Found this picture on macrumors
It doesn't look that bad? -
It only looks good if you have it angled perfectly. If you bob your head, its really bad..
The macbook I saw had a worse screen than my wifes $499 toshiba... -

I've read a lot of complaints about the MacBook screen. Agreeably, you have to get it at a correct angle and basically leave it there, but once it's set I quite enjoy it. It beats the heck out of some of my previous PC's. Considering the overall design and all the major positives of this machine, it's a very minor issue in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering the MBP over the MB. I really like the size of the MB though.

Yea, the MBP definitely has a better screen. No question about it.
But when you think about how much your paying for the MBP you would think that Apple would provide a screen better than the Dell Mini screen.
Hopefully this time next year, or this fall they will update the models with RGBLED screens. -

Here's a summary of the test; "Rob Galbraith, a professional photographer tried out an handful of laptops that would work great in the field. While the Thinkpads were the best, what he found was that the Dell Mini 9 had better color accuracy than the Macbook Pro. Though the Dell Mini 9 was dead last when it came to viewing angle." -
i find some dell notebook offers better viewing angle (for what i care) than apple and i can only say mbp screen is only "acceptable".

I was at London Drugs today and they had both the macbook and MBP on display I put the same background on both and the MBP was way better, if you had the display on the macbook in the upright position (where it should be) it had a washed out look if you tilted it back it was better.
