The external screen brightness

Hello

I've just set up a double screen (laptop and external monitor) but the new monitor is very bright and I'm having difficulties to reduce the brightness. I tried following the instructions from microsoft but whenever it only reduces the brightness of laptop and not monitor. Or if I have just selected screen there is no nothing. Can anyone suggest what is the problem or what I could do wrong?

If you have adjusted the settings on the screen itself, have all built in contrast and brightness settings.

If it does not respond to changes in settings from Windows this would indicate the display is being saturated. Have you tried the monitor on another computer to see if it falls within normal limits?

  • The start screen is displayed on the external screen

    Hi guys,.

    Recently, I have a Thinkpad L540 and it is pretty cool.

    But I had a problem when the laptop starts when a VGA is plugged, the splash screen (the screen just after, when the portable lights) is always displayed on the external screen (projector).

    I already checked the BIOS and it is set to "Thinkpad LCD".

    I don't know if it will be fixed with a BIOS update.

    Thanks for your help.

    Sincerely,

    Welcome to the forum!

    What you see, it's quite normal and the way it has always been on ThinkPad.

    Don't expect an update of the BIOS to "fix".

  • How to use the external screen with my Satellite M30?

    Hi guys, I have the following problem:

    I have a portable Satellite M30-642 former. My keyboard it is completely broken (spilled something on it) so I use an external USB keyboard.

    Now that I bought a TFT I wanted to use it as a primary device, so I need to take the laptop to the external output.
    The laptop itself recognizes as a secondary screen already, but this isn't what I want.
    Problem is I can't switch from the display without the FN key devices!

    I tried to search the net and this forum - but the solution posted does not work for the M30. There is no option in the utility of HW and not in the BIOS to enable the external keyboard support.
    Please is there any other combination of keys that would work or a software utility that allows me to turn on? It's a really bad situation for me :(

    All solutions anyone? :(

    Greetings and thanks in advance

    Hello

    Please don't be crazy on me but I write here very often and somehow try to help, but I'm still irritated if someone thinks that anything is possible. Unfortunately, you have to accept that sometimes there is hardware limitation and there is nothing to do.
    I want to talk about primary and secondary monitor.

    On most laptops, the LCD is always set as primary and cannot be changed. So, as far as I know, without using the FN + F5 key combination you extend the desktop to external display and use both of them. Using display settings you should be able to switch to an external display only (display control panel settings NVIDIA advance settings and so on). Please test only because I don't have M30, but the principle is used the same.

    If you will be able to use external display only try to restart your laptop and see on which screen the office will be shown. If you will be lucky and office will be shown on the external display, try to extend the desktop to second monitor (laptop LCD).

    Good bye

  • E540 + Dock among Pro - max of the external screen resolution is 1280 x 1024

    Hello

    This issue could be discussed and resolved already somewhere else, but I couldn't find a match for my situation:

    I recently bought the ThinkPad E540 with Pro among docking station, in which I have connected my external LG Flatron IPS236 monitor. LG max resolution is Full HD 1920 x 1080, but for some reason any the max of my external screen resolution is only 1280 x 1024. The screen is connected to the station Pro among DVI port. I have two day of the graphic card drivers and the LG monitor drivers and started the system. I also tried using 75 hertz and framerate of 60 Hz, but without any help.

    What should I try next?

    HA, I finally got. Research on the subject long enough, revealed the cold made that updated Lenovo systems do not provide you with the last set of drivers (graphics card). On the contrary, it prevents actually update you the drivers downloaded from the provider (Intel) site. * beep *.

    So was the solution for this:

    -Remove the display card drivers (Device Manager / display adapter / preferences / adapter / uninstall)

    -The latest drivers downloaded from the web site of the hardware vendor intall

    BUT PLEASE NOTE:

    Just after I had uninstalled the original display card drivers both the external display and the display of the desktop became black. I had to reset my computer and start Windows Mode safe, where I was able to install the new drivers.

    Now my question for Lenovo is: * beep *.

    Why is - that you can not simply to allow installation of the latest drivers from map display through your own update system OR simply give users the ability to update the original adater than newer display drivers.

    Hello

    Check with your system manufacturer support, their documentation online and ask for their
    Forums about known problems.

    Control Panel - Power Options - check power management

  • Tecra S11-128 on the external screen flashes

    Gentlemen.
    I have two problems.

    1st. If I use the S11-128 with the provided power supply and an external LCD display, a distracting flickering effect is visible. It disappears if I run the laptop off the battery or with an old Tecra M2 supply (2004, electrically equivalent). My faulty power or is it a common behavior?

    2. I wrote a polite and detailed message, but the language of the forum filter does not let through, so that you get a condensed version X-(X -)

    TIA,
    Paolo

    These symptoms are typical for the land issue.
    I much read about flicker on external monitors, while the laptop is connected to the power adapter.
    In most cases, a 3Pin adaptor cable might solve this problem.

    I recommend that you get in touch with an ASP local and order this cable.

  • Re: Satellite R630-13F: taken Possible supported the resolution of the external LCD screen

    Hello

    I intend to buy a LCD for my editing work.
    My laptop is R630-13F.

    I was wondering if I get the LCD high resolution (2560 x 1440), my phone would support such screen? Thank you very much.

    Tim

    Hello

    The external screen resolution depends on the graphics card and the external monitor.
    As far as I know the Intel graphics chip that is used in this laptop is capable of managing the max 2048 x 1536 at 32-bit resolution

    2560 x 1440 appears to be too high

  • Satellite L500 - external screen display after closing the lid?

    Hello
    I use the Satellite L500 - 120 Notebook, and before installing Windows 7, the laptop has a function very uncomfortable, when I applied an external display.
    When I closed the lid of my laptop, Office was shown on my display (with the native resolution of the external display) external, so I had not to
    change anything on the control panel. In Windows 7, Miss me this feature. I already tried to use the Control Panel, but there is no parameters, which fits
    with the previous ones. I can duplicate the screen in order to see my desktop screen on my external screen, but with the resolution of 1366 x 768 laptop.
    If I extend the views, then there is only the background image to the external screen, but this time with the native resolution.

    So my question is, how to conifgure Windows to recognize that I closed the lid, and the screen should be shown on my external screen?
    Or should I install applications Toshiba, that I had before, who visited account this function?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    I m not a Windows 7 user because I want to wait until it will be released official, but I hope that I can help you a bit:

    First of all in power management, you can choose the action that happens if you close the lid (g. e. sleep, close, etc.). This action must be disabled because otherwise the laptop shuts down or something else.

    So I think that you need to install the display driver for your laptop. You can try the Vista driver because most of them are working on Windows 7.
    Then you should be able to define the correct screen resolution for external monitor.

    A working display driver is important to the clone or extends monitors to verify this!

  • External screen goes blank when I close the lid Satellite P100

    Hi all.
    I hope someone has an idea as to what is happening here.

    Sometimes I like to watch a dvd or use the center of the media on my HD TV. I use Windows Vista to make it.

    When I had XP installed, I close the lid of the laptop and watch them to my heart's content. Now with Vista, I need to have the lid open be able to watch on the external display. If I close to you then the external screen is empty, as if I unplugged the laptop.

    That makes me free! What worries me is burn-in screen, because the standby screen not turn on as I am watching video.

    Help! Someone! Anyone!

    AFAIK in Vista that you can use the same options as under WXp. check please supply option and you will find an option called when I close the lid. As option, choose no action.

    I think you should be able to close the lid while watching the movie on screen.

  • Set the screen brightness Satellite Pro 4200

    Hello
    I heard a key combination that makes possible the setting screen brightness.
    Is this true and what is the key combination?

    Yours sincerely
    Riedlz

    Hi Daniel,.

    Normal for thie keys Fn + F7 to increase brightness and Fn + F6 to decrease. But the different laptop models use different key combinations, so I would check your user manual to see which ones is correct for your laptop.
