It could also be useful for tweaking video, only a few video players have easily accessible during playback color controls.
For example, if you want to use your laptop outdoors on a sunny day, you might need a brighter screen to see the display clearly. Some Linux desktops (don’t remember which) have widgets for brightness and contrast Linux tools vary from thoroughly primitive (none!) to excellent.Īnyway, as long as you know where you started, this looks like a nice utility for quickly changing brightness of a desktop monitor, far easier to use than infuriating monitor menus. How to Change Brightness of Built-in Display in Windows 10 If you have a laptop or tablet with a built-in display, you might need to occasionally change the screen brightness level. With our desktops, which have Nvidia cards and Intel Graphics disabled, you can play with monitor controls or Nvidia settings, neither ideal, it’s easy to get way off track.
Windows laptops generally have a brightness control (not really brightness, more like screen drive) but little else unless you go into the Intel Graphics settings, a clumsy way to make temporarly changes.
I guess that counts as changing color settings. I calibrated all our screens with xrite i1 display pro and Display Cal to get them “even” from dark to white and that makes a huge difference, no more too white or too black, favoring shades or excessive saturation at particular gamma levels.
