About Lauren Bennett Expertise I am a computer science major and my dad is an Electric Engineering, so my life has revolved around computers. For as long as I can remember, I have been buying and selling computers. I tend to travel a lot, so I have always had a laptop. I have bought 5 of them for myself, and bought around 30-40 for friends and family. I have dealt with the good and the bad of various version and brand names. If you are in need of buying a laptop, feel free to contact me and I'm sure I will be able to guide you into purchasing the laptop that will be the best fit for you. I will custom build you computers for you to choose from so you can get an exact idea of what to go and buy when you do it yourself and so that you have an exact price. However, I am in the USA and am only knowledgeable about computers here in the US. I do not know about foreign currency or the quality of computer brand names outside the US.
Experience B.S. in Computer Science. Buying and selling for years. Assisting friends/family.
Question Hi there, i have a dell laptop. However when i watch film the screen is really dark. I have used 'fn' and the up and down buttons but the brightness is on the highest. Is there any other way i can increase my brightness so i can see my films easily without struggling to see the screen. Thank you Emma
Answer That's as bright as the screen gets. You can try finding a program called quickset on your computer and adjusting it that way so that the screen is always as bright as you'd like it, but pressing that up arrow does make the screen go to its full brightness.
If the computer is still under warranty, you can go chat online with Dell and throw a fit (you always get your way if you whine enough). They may end up giving you a new screen.
If it isn't under warranty, brightness is something you may want to check out before making your next purchase. Different screens do have different maximum brightness levels. I know I always try to buy the brightest screen I can find! :)
