Hello,
The display on this Asus 12 inch netbook/laptop doesn't look right, even
since it was new. The lines on web pages look very faint, and you can
barely see where the boxes that you have to write in, for example.

There doesn't seem to be any contrast control in the Windows 7 control
panel, nor on the keyboard.
I've tried the color calibration, but that doesn't seem to make any
difference.

Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks.

How does the netbook video look on an external monitor?

Good idea.

I've just tried it. It looks OK there.
So what can I do about the laptop screen?

Is it still under warranty?

See if there is an updated display driver from Asus and/or try different display settings (1280X720 or 800X600).
