Question : Problem: Is there a way that I can brighten the screen on a laptop?

I have a brand new Dell Latitude D620 with 14in LCD screen and I was wondering if anybody knows a way to brighten the display?  I have already done it through the QuickSet and I tried adjusting the contrast in the control panel... I guess what I am asking is there anything external that I could use?

There isn't any way to brighten the screen anymore than the system allows.  You didn't mention going into BIOS... have you gone in there to see if the brightness is set at max?  If you have and the brightness is set as high as it goes, then I'm afraid that's all you can do.  If you don't think it's bright enough then there might be something wrong with it and you should contact Dell.
