Open Display Properties Control Panel or right-click the Desktop and
select Properties. Navigate to the Settings tab, Advanced button and you
will be presented with a number of tabs. Many display adapters have a
Color tab that contains settings for Gamma, Brightness, and Contrast.
You adapter might be different so review each tab and see what you find.

In addition, there is typically a screen brightness function key, Fn-F5
or similar. Look for an icon like a small "sun" symbol. One other
setting is in Power Options where the default screen brightness levels
for Battery and AC Adapter operations can be set.

You also might have a user manual for your computer buried somewhere.
Do a search for *.pdf , *.doc and see if a manual can be found.
http://www.toshiba.com , Support, is also a good place to look for
documentation.

The 4270 has a small wheel on the right hand edge of the screen casing
to adjust brightness.

Also I wonder if you have the DSTN model and not the TFT model screen?

If it's DSTN then the screen looks like it has a slight silver sheen
to it and the maximum resolution is 800 x 600..

From my experience of owning a 4270 the DSTN screen is utter cr@p on
these machines and give a very poor image. At times it is hard to even
see the mouse cursor when moving and any multimedia was impossible.

Maybe this is not your problem but if it is DSTN there is little you
can do to alter the quality of the image you get ((
