How to Make Your Laptop Screen Brighter?

2024-09-03 by CHUWI

Computers today have become an indispensable part of our existence and are mostly used for communication, leisure, and business. However, the screen’s brightness is one of many consumers’ most frequently cited complaints. Whenever the screen is too dark, this creates eye fatigue and adversely affects eyesight. The following blog will explore multiple handy tips and tricks that will help you facilitate the illumination of the laptop screen during its use.

Adjusting Brightness Using Keyboard Shortcuts

Most Chuwi models, like the Chuwi CoreBook X and Chuwi GemiBook, come with built-in shortcuts for brightness. Such keys are often depicted with sun symbols on them. These buttons enable you to control the brightness of the laptop’s display in a short time.

You can also press F11–F12 to make your screen brighter. For instance, if the function keys have been merged with the brightness keys, You may also have to press the “Fn” key to increase the screen’s brightness. This is simple to do and will immediately increase the brightness of the laptop’s monitor, thus reducing the pressure on one’s eyes.

System Settings for Brightness Adjustment

System Settings for Brightness Adjustment

You might alter it to get better details, or if the keyboard shortcuts are not functional, they can be modified in the laptop settings. To check the brightness on a Windows laptop like the Chuwi HeroBook Pro, go to the Settings app or Control Panel.

Its setting can be accessed by going to “System,” followed by “Display,” where users will find a slider-style brightness level. Mac users may have similar choices under ‘Displays’ in the ‘System Preferences’ menu.

Keeping Graphics Drivers Updated

An outdated graphics driver can result in the overall brightness level of your laptop screen being lower at maximum settings. On the contrary, you need to update your graphic drivers to reach maximum brightness levels. Users of Windows OS may update drivers via the Device Manager.

Locate your graphics driver, right-click it, and choose ‘Update Driver,’ then follow the instructions given by your computer’s source. These could be in the form of standard operating system updates that Mac users commonly call macOS updates. If you do that, you will ensure your laptop will have the brightest screen possible, so there will be no problem at all.

Checking Power Settings

Another way to change the screen brightness of your laptop is by changing the laptop’s power settings. Usually, during power-saving modes, a device dims the screen, which is an action that takes place due to power-saving settings. The rationale is to adjust the power selections based on one’s needs regarding these concerns.

For Windows users: Search for the power plan where more brightness settings are allowed or make a new plan by going to the Control Panel. You may also open Settings and click “Power & sleep” and “Additional plans.” This tip is especially useful for Chuwi laptops like the Chuwi LarkBook X, which is known for its long battery life and bright display.

Adjusting Automatic Brightness Settings

Many modern laptops feature built-in light sensors that adjust the laptop’s screen brightness according to the ambient light levels. While handy, this function sometimes doesn’t provide the optimal brightness. If you prefer to manage brightness manually, you can disable this automatic adjustment.

For Windows users, open the Settings app by right-clicking the Start button. Navigate to the Display menu under the System page and turn off the option “Change brightness automatically when lighting changes.”

Additional Tips for Enhancing Screen Brightness

In addition to the above-explained methods, other tips will help keep your laptop screen bright and clear. Wiping it often is highly advisable to enhance the screen’s brightness since dust and other marks may reduce it. Utilize screen protectors that improve brightness and minimize glare.

Consider buying an anti-glare screen cover if you use your laptop in areas with too much light. These covers reduce reflections on displays and improve readability and clarity. Chuwi’s devices, like the Chuwi Hi10 Max, are designed to perform well in various lighting conditions. Regular maintenance can go a long way in keeping your screen bright and your eyes comfortable.

Conclusion

For the laptop to be as comfortable and functional as possible, it is essential to know how to make the screen brighter. These above-mentioned methods help you to have a clear and bright screen, whether by keyboard or graphics drivers, system settings, or other ways.

It helps to remember necessary changes in power settings and, for instance, turn off automatic brightness control. These tips can help you watch your smart TV without eye strain and improve productivity during screen time. However, using too much brightness on your laptop could adversely affect your laptop’s battery life and cause it to run out soon.
