usually its the other way around - ie: dimmer with battery, brighter with mains - but thats to save power etc. Dont know about your case though

kerry, there should be an option in your BIOS for adjusting brightness levels for battery and mains power. a brighter display will drain the battery faster.

Adjust the gamma levels in your graphics card settings, nvidia have nview, not sure about ATI

hehe, del or f1,f2 keys on startup. then it should be in there somewhere. turn it to the same level as its on mains power, and it shouldnt change when you move over to batt power
