Adjusting Brightness

When a Dell鈩?computer is running on battery power, you can conserve power by setting the brightness

to the lowest comfortable setting by pressing %26lt;Fn%26gt; and the up- or down-arrow key on the keyboard.

NOTE: Brightness key combinations only affect the display on your portable computer, not monitors or projectors

that you attach to your portable computer or docking device. If your computer is connected to an external monitor

and you try to change the brightness level, the Brightness Meter may appear, but the brightness level on the

external device does not change.

You can press the following keys to adjust display brightness:

?Press %26lt;Fn%26gt; and the up-arrow key to increase brightness on the integrated display only (not on an

external monitor).

You can enable or disable the ambient light sensor by pressing the %26lt;Fn%26gt; and left-arrow key

combination.

NOTE: Do not cover the ambient light sensor with any adhesive labels.I need to adjust the screen brightness on my new laptop?

I had a Toshiba monitor about two years ago. After reading the manual and asking several questions on their support forum, I found that simply turning the power button to %26quot;on%26quot; really made a big difference.
