HD+ LED-backlit LCD screen washed out - found a temporary solution

[CS DBA]

All,

Just an FYI,

I created a file:
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/99-xgamma.sh

made it executable, and added this content:

#!/bin/bash

xgamma -gamma .7


It seems that setting overall gamma to 0.7 does wonders for the display
