The LCD screen on your Compaq Presario laptop may be perfectly visible when you are in a well-lit indoor area, but if you've ever tried using your laptop outdoors or in an area without good lighting you'll notice the screen is much more difficult to view. The Presario line of laptops includes a built-in feature for adjusting the screen brightness. Whether you want your screen brighter or dimmer, you only need to tap a key combination.
