I have tried:

 

1) Disabling Adaptive Brightness

2) Turning the bightness settings to max

3) Trying the brightness settings in the Intel Graphics configurator

 

 

Please help. The laptop is much darker than any other laptop i've ever had. I have a Yoga 2 and a Macbook Retina 13 that are both much brighter.

 

Its very hard to see Smiley Sad

    Have you checked if any new VGA driver in available?

     

    when you set brightness from min to max, did you see any change?

    Yes i do see a difference when changing the brightness BUT at 100% still very dim.

     

    Check gaminglaptopjunky's review of it. He also has the same problem. Display is advertised as 300nits on average but he measured only 200 nits. Same as me.

     

    Something is wrong

    Yes, something is wrong.

     

    can be a bad VGA driver.

    Its just odd that a good reviewer like Gaming Laptop Junky has it as well.

     

    Here is the screen that i have: http://www.panelook.com/LP156WF4-SPK1_LG%20Display_15.6_LCM_overview_20274.html

     

    As you can see should be 300 nits. This one is 200 Smiley Sad

     

    Will Acer replace the screen if i send it back?

    you can give them a call and ask if they were aware of this issue.
