Travelmate 800LCi screen brightness
I recently bought an Acer TravelMate 800LCi. I used the Fn+arrow keys
and to increase/decrease the screen brightness. But even at the minimum setting, the screen is still quite bright. I'm concerned about battery life and if I'm using the notebook in a dark room, the screen is too glaring. Do you have this problem with your 800LCi too or is this a fault with my notebook? Thanks. |

Funny, I find the screen to be fine, even wish I could make it brighter. So
I think its JustYou. Now the wifi range is less than desirable. Swapped out the mini pci card with a Dell TrueMobile 1300 and its improved some when paired with my Linksys router, since they use the same chip. It could still use some improvement.

Try this,
1) Go to Control Panel and then Display Options(or rt.click in a blank area of your desktop and select properties) 2) Select SETTINGS then click the ADVANCED BUTTON(you wil now see options for your video card) 3)Select the COLOR tab and you can adjust brightness there.(note, depending on your video card(Mine is an ATI-TravelMate 433 notebook) your tabs might use words so just look around and check all the tabs and see if you can find the one to adjust your monitor brightness) ...........Rackie On 28 Oct 2003 13:02:16 +0800, JustMe wrote: I recently bought an Acer TravelMate 800LCi.

Hi Rackie,
that works nicely. Thanks. I called up Acer about their narrow range of screen brightness but they said that there's nothing they can do about it.
