Too bright screen on the lowest setting on Windows 8

I installed Windows 8 on a Lenovo X 220, and now the screen is much brighter even on the setting low compared to what it was on Windows 7. In Windows 7, I was able to adjust the brightness in 20 increments, now it's just 10 and the bottom seems to have disappeared.

Hello

Check with Lenovo support, their drivers and documentation online and ask for their
Forums about known problems. You may need to update the BIOS, chipset drivers,
video and other drivers. The video device and the drivers will also reflect methods
to adjust the brightness.

  • Too bright light on the screen of Portege 3440CT (running Windows 2000)

    Hello

    Do you know how to reduce the brightness on the screen of the laptop Portege 3440CT running Windows 2000?

    I have another question about the 3440CT Portege battery: battery charge never, I can't solve the problem, I left the power supply 8 days but battery levy at all! I had the same problem with a second battery?

    Any ideas?

    Kind regards
    Jerome

    Hi jnessi,

    as far as I know, you can change the brightness of the P3440 with the key Fn and F2! Agic otherwise your settings in the tool!

    If two batteries are as old as the portege, it may be that this batteries are too old!
    Otherwise your electronic of power supply is damaged, but I do not! ;-)

    Good bye

  • Satellite A300 - too bright screen and lack of contrast

    Is it irritates me immensely

    No matter what I do, there seems to be no way to add contrast and reduce the brightness of the screen on my laptop.
    For example, blacks show that blacks... just slight shades of gray

    I am a photographer, I like my photos and display to be precise for the colors I see in real life, so I can change them accordingly. but rather... the screen seems just washed out, more exposed, and it hurts me ' eyes!

    I tried to adjust the contrast and brightness manually by going to graphic properties, but even with the settings below, the remains of the screen bright and washed out.

    is there something I can do?
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That's the problem with the LCD screen. Due to the lighting, it is difficult to block all of the light using liquid crystals.

    OLED plasma and CRT screens do not have this problem. So if you want the best possible image contrast, you may buy one of these types of monitor and use it via the VGA port.

  • Cannot adjust the brightness of the screen after the new installation of Windows 7

    I have a Pavilion dv2945se notebook. I have completely updated the Nvidia geforce 7150 m drivers. My laptop came with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, and I did a new install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I can't adjust the brightness of the display. I narrowed down the problem to the generic PnP Monitor driver. How can I solve this problem?

    Edit: I mean "impossible to adjust the brightness of the display" that every time I go into power options and trying to use the cursor, Windows Explorer crashes. Also, my fn + F7 and F8 keys light work before I connect to windows, but not after. I think that something will charge when I connect to windows that is causing the problem. So I went in Mode safe, but then all that allows to control the brightness has not loaded when I went into safe mode, which was not helpful. I also went into MSConfig and disabled all startup programs, but again, I have the same problem. The brightness of the keys work before connect you to Windows, but not thereafter.

    When I turn off the device generic PnP monitor (1) can't adjust the brightness at all and (2) the Power Options window stops freezing. That's how I've narrowed the problem to the generic PnP Monitor driver.

    I finally solved this by uninstalling the driver for the ALPS touchpad. Because there are no Windows 7 drivers for my laptop even though it is listed in the models capable of upgrading to Windows 7, I used Windows Vista touchpad drivers. It was the cause of my problem with brightness adjustment. I don't know why it worked, but I've narrowed it down by disabling all processes start and then from their one at a time to see what caused the problem. As soon as I started Apoint.exe, I started to have problems.

    Now, I just have to find a way to disable the touchpad tapping without the ALPS drivers.

  • Blue screen with the installation of new windows on that already pre-installed

    Hello everyone, I'm sorry if this has already been addressed, and I wonder about the same thing. I found a few messages about my problem, but it did not totally help, so...

    I bought an M70 in Germany, he has Win XP it already installed, but I wanted to install my Windows with a different language. When I start the computer from the disk, there are first this blue screen saying that it is responsible for many drivers, etc.. Then, it suddenly stops when he finished to load all the stuff. There is only a cursor in the top left corner (the one in DOS mode) and nothing happens. What could be a problem?

    Is there some kind of blockade on the hard drive that prevent me from formatting the partition and install another system? My windows doesn't include SP2 on cd, usually I install it later.

    I saw at least a similar post, someone suggested to download on the site section to find information of navigation, but I failed in doing that. Can someone help me? I would be extremely grateful for any information!

    Mike

    Hello Mike

    I put t really know if included SP2 has something to do with it, but the fact is that the unit is pre-installed with Windows XP Home edition which include SP2. I think that once I read that a guy has to try something similar and included SP2 installation successfully.

    If you can get a CD of Windows XP SP2 home edition installations (any language just to test) Please try to be sure if the problem is occurring because of this. Also, make sure that there is no external device is connected so that the facilities of the process runs.

    Bye and good luck!
