    I got my Dell Studio 15 today. Everything seems fine except for the fact that the screen hurts my eyes. I tried lowering the brightness levels but it really is the contrast. My older laptop (inspiron) was fine. What can I do?

    Why not play with the video settings before declaring it a defective lcd?

    You should be able to lower the contrast by going into the video properties.
