Not sure what are you talking about. I can adjust brightness (and lots of other things) of my monitors just fine using their own buttons.What on Earth does that have to do with the Windows OS?
- chrismorgan 6y agoPlease finish reading the sentence you’re quoting.
- FpUser 6y agoYeah, guilty. Still not sure if it practically matters. Do they really need to adjust brightness every day?
- mrob 6y agoThe appropriate brightness for programming or browsing the web isn't the same as for gaming or watching movies. Samsung monitors have a dedicated button for cycling through brightness profiles. DDC/CI control is even better.
- chrismorgan 6y agoIf you’re in a windowless or heavily-shaded office with consistent lighting, probably not. But if you’re in a normal house in a room that gets plenty of lighting from outside, absolutely. I tend to run my external monitors at 0% in the earlier morning, 20% in the mid-morning, 40% by the afternoon, sometimes up to 70% on a particularly bright summer day, and down to 0% in the evening (and I’d take it towards −20% at times if there was such a thing, their minimum brightness is nowhere near as dim as my laptop’s screen’s minimum brightness, which is even acceptable for use in a completely dark room; their 0% is its 25%, while their 100%s are similar). Leaving them at the 100% they came at would be awful, it’s a little too bright for my situation even in the middle of the day, let alone the evening.
- FpUser 6y ago>"If you’re in a windowless ..." Yup. That would be me. My office is in a basement of my house and has been for the last 20 years.
