Screen brightness/Themes

I was very grateful to forum members for their response to my first question here, and I'd like to ask another, on a different matter.

I run 8.1 on a Dell laptop. The screen is extremely bright and glaring, very hard on the eyes. When I turn down the brightness to an acceptable level, text loses definition. So I've tried new themes, both Windows and also Firefox add-ons. But then I find photographic images from news sites such as Yahoo disappear - not all of them, but some. Is there any way of preventing this?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the suggestion, Zaref, but even with the Windows themes I get that strange result of photos going missing from news sites.

Have you tried Adjust clear type text in control panel: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display
