As far as I know, you can not adjust contrast only brightness.

There's a registry hack to make that show up in Control Panel; I just can't remember what it is. Do a search in the forum.

EDIT: Here it is!

Then soft reset and go to start > settings > system > contrast and adjust the contrast. The only thing is, it doesn't remember the contrast after a soft reset. This should help with reading in the dark -- the screen brightness is too bright when you are in the dark.

I peered around for a hidden mixer applet too, but there doesn't seem to be one.

At least on the x50v/WM2003SE, the hack won't survive a soft reset.
