Hello everyone. So recently during the holidays, I decided I would buy myself a computer to help me with the business I’m starting. Because I’m pretty occupied during the day, it is best that I do my work at night. This evening I decided to start on a project when I realized that the screen was waaaaay too bright. When I typed in the search box. brightness, the adjust screen brightness tab read Unavailable. I soon came across statements that claim a version of Windows 8 does not allow for desktops to adjust screen brightness, only tablets and notebooks.
Not letting that stop me, I looked about to see if there was anything I could do to fix this issue. I use the ” Go to Device manger and change the Display Adapters, which is now Microsoft Basic Display Adapter”, that didn’t fix anything. I even downloaded three different screen brightness programs; Flux, Adjust Laptop Brightness 2.0 and Dark Adapted. All three did NOTHING!
Is there anyone out there that can provide a solution for me please? Because the screen is so bright, I can’t get any work done at night because I start experiencing migraines within minutes and have to get off. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
========================================
You can switch the picture mode to your preferred viewing
pleasure, such as optimizing the display for movies or electronic
books.
On the desktop, right-click an empty area and click All apps >
Settings > Display > Picture Tones.
•• Standard: Standard picture mode.
•• Movie: Switch to this mode when the ambient lighting is dark
or when watching movies.
•• Low-contrast scene: This will make a darker scene brighter for
distinction.
•• Sharp: This will make the picture clear and sharp.
•• Read: Suitable for reading electronic books.
•• No effect: This is the default picture mode.
========================================
I know it sounds odd but maybe “Movie mode” might help.
I also notice that early on in the manual it shows the operator at a fair angle above the screen. This is also likely to have a dimming effect.
All seems a tad odd when all it needs is a simple brightness control but perhaps “that’s progress”. Humans are not digital LOL.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks
