Adjusting brightness and contrast on the Pavilion dv6

Hi,
I am having trouble with the color of my pictures so decided to calibrate my laptop. I bought the huey PRO to calibrate the laptop. The instructions says:
Set the contrast control to maximum and set the Brightness control to 50%. Decrease the Contrast until you see two rings in the upper half of the white circle. The lower half always shows two rings for reference.
If the display gets too dim, just set the Contrast control to about 75%, or to a level that you like.
How do I adjust the contrast? I am also using Windows 7 on the Pavilion dv6

Hello @waynest,
Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand the display issue that you are having. I have noticed the color can seem off when you look at the screen of a computer. So to help me get as much information as possible so that I can help you better. Can you provide me with your notebook's Product number and complete model number. Here is a link that will help you find this information.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
As well could you provide what version of the Operating System you are running. For example if it is Windows 7 Pro / Ultimate / Home, and if it is 32 bit or 64 bit. Use the link below to help with this.
Which Windows operating system am I running?
As for the Huey PRO Calibration software here is a link that may help you as well.
Contact PANTONE Support.
Looking forward to helping you with your issue.

Control of brightness and contrast of HP Pavilion G4-1310au

Hello. I just got a new HP Pavilion G4-1310au. My problem is that it did not have any OS installed and so no system drivers were installed either. In the box I only got a CD that has HP manual in it and nothing else and the notebook of course, the power cord, bag, and some printed manual. I was expecting to see a System Disk CD so I could install the system drivers, but I didn't find one.
So I installed the OS and then installed the network driver which I downloaded from another computer and also the audio. My problem is that I cannot find a laucher that would help me control the brightness and contrast of the screen. I tried FN key plus F3 or F2 keys but it didn't work.
Anybody can help me how I can control the brightness and contrrast or better yet if there is a Launcher software where I can control all the features of this notebook? By the way, I don't know how to enable the bluetooth either.
Any help is much appreciated.

I have issu Hot Key I Unable to adjust brightness and contrast

please solve my issue.

Hi: Normally that means the graphics drivers are missing. I do not see any W10 graphics drivers listed on your notebook's support page, so see if these work... 1. Install the Intel chipset installation utility and reboot. The second driver on the list is the auto install file. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/20775/Intel-Chipset-Device-Software-INF-Update-Utility- 2. Install the Intel HD graphics driver and reboot. The first file listed is the auto install file. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25150/Intel-Iris-Iris-Pro-and-HD-Graphics-Production-Driver-for-Windows-10-64-bit 3. Install the nVidia HD graphics driver and reboot. http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/87791/en-us If that doesn't resolve the problem you will have to wait until HP releases W10 driver on your notebook's support and driver page.

Brightness and Contrast Issue on Calibration

I've started having migraine issues the last few years. On one machine I have, I wanted to create a few different monitor calibration sets, so that I could switch between sets that were for accurate work, and then sets that were lower in brightness and color temp, which would be easier on my head. I'm using 10.5.8 and an external ViewSonic. I just now realized, that the contrast and brightness settings seem to be overridden by the monitor. In other words... Say that you go to calibrate... You start off by manually setting the contrast and brightness, then adjust all the other settings and save the calibration. If you are using that calibration set and manually change the brightness and/or contrast... clicking on any calibration set, will NOT return the brightness and contrast to the settings you had them at, for that saved calibration set. ie: There's basically only one brightness and contrast setting you can have, at any given time, no matter what calibration set you’re running.
This doesn't seem right. Has it always been like this?

Hi Dave, see if this might be of use...
Go to System Preferences > Universal Access and down in the Display: section make sure that the Enhance contrast: slider is all the way to left to Normal, or more to the right for less Contrast.

Why do the brightness and contrast tools disappear

I just finished developing a set of photos. When I went to my next set, some of the functionality was missing namely the brightness and contrast tools. I am using lightroom 5. Why is this happening?

The images where brightness and contrast sliders are available were probably imported into Lightroom in an earlier version (probably Lr3). Back then the adjustment sliders were built around 'Process Version 2010'. When Lr4 was launched it included an updated and significantly more flexible set of adjustments sliders. This new set of adjustments is known as Process Version 2012, and is the current set of adjustments in Lr5. The images you try to edit that don't have access to brightness and contrast were probably first imported into Lr4 or Lr5. You can read more about PV2012 here Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.0 Feature Overview The overview also provides information on how to convert back and forth between PV2010 and PV2012.

The Best Brightness and contrast for my monitor

I have an acer monitor AL2016W. I managed to get it too work but the screen is too bright. What is the best brightness and contrast for it? I have a resolution of 1850 x 1250, can I safely change that on my mac mini? Thank you for yuor help.

If you are using windows 8 - go to the start screen and just start typing Power.
When you start typing in, "Just Type" kicks in and starts searching for what you are typing, The default is to look for applications, but the power options you need are under settings.
So Click on Settings, and you'll see power options on the left.
Click Power Options and once you get to there, you should see a slider on the bottom of the window to change the brightness, I added a screen shot for you.
good luck

Can not adjust brightness and minimize and maximize the screen with Fn keys

I have bought a HP 15-D006TU laptop 1 week back. f2 and f3 for adjusting brightness and f4 to minimize and maximize the screen are not working. I am also trying to install the Hotkey driver which is mostly suggested here. but the version available is not supported. Can anyone help me out in this case?

Hi NIdisha,
Thank you for your post, I will do my best to assist you.
I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the brightness and the fn keys. When I looked up the specifications, I see it came with FreeDos. I am providing you links, to the software and driver page for your computer,HP 15-d006tu Notebook PC Drivers and Frequently Asked Questions About FreeDOS (FAQs). Please note the compatible keyboard driver. I would suggest you uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard. I am also providing you a document on Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 8), that may assist you. If you would like furhter assistance, please let me know if you are still running FreeDos, or have changed the operating system.
I hope this has helped.

Brightness and Contrast Import Defaults

When I import NEFs from a D200, LR gives it a brightness +50 and contrast +25. The photos look pretty good with that setting, but LR instructions suggests to first adjust exposure, recovery, and blacks before futzing with brightness and contrast. So, 1. why does LR do that in the first place, and 2. would I be better off making a preset that starts brightness and contrast at zero, and first do the ex, rec, and black settings?
Also, I was taught never to use the brightness and contrast settings in PS.. are the LR settings fundamentally different?
thanks
Michael

Is there a way to change these defaults? For eg. I'd like to have the default shadows=0, default vibrance=10, default sharpening=0, etc.
I know you can specify a develop preset on import, but I like being able to tell which files are at "default" settings, and which ones I've worked on individually.
Thanks,
Jonathan

How to adjust brightness of part of the screen of shot video

Hi,
I have a video I am editing and for the most part the brightness and contrast levels are fine. But when I pan to a LCD display which is part of the video, the brightness is way too high. I can't redo this clip, but am wondering if there is a reasonable way to apply a filter which just lowers the intesity of the LCD screen while leaving the surrounding areas alone. It would sort of be like the concept they chroma keying does (in a loose sort of way).
thanks!
'mark

Doesn't always work the way you think it should but you could try dropping the Broadcast Safe filter on the entire clip.
You could also just cut the clip where the brightness first appears and add the 3 way Color Corrector. Adjust it to where you like it and then add a disolve between the clips. (may or may not do it for you depending on how the bright spot comes into frame, but it's a fast workaround) Could keyframe the 3 way in if you like.
There are other things you can do with the 3 way to limit it's effect but to get a grip on it you should probably refer to the manual.

Hdmi video and audio for hp pavilion dv6 1050us does not work

I'm trying to use my hp pavilion dv6 1050us notebook with a TV Philips model 40PFL8605D using a HDMI cable but nothing function: can't get the image displayed at computer on the TV display. The HDMI cable and the same TV were tested using a ASUS notebook and everything worked all rigth: video and sound. Then I concluded that the only possible source of problem is my HP pavilion dv6 1050us notebook.
Can I get some help?

Hi (:
I frequently play The Sims 3, I have all, but myabe 3, extensions. And I have a Pavilion dv6-6c15nr Entertainment PC. Now I was wondering, is this a bad idea? Occassionally, my games will freeze and even just completely glitch within the game, sometimes unallowing me to save. It's very frustrating, especially when you get so far. My question is would it be better to just get a gaming pc and leave this one to surfing the web and doing school work? Or is this one good, and can I download or buy something to help my computer maintain or improve its performance?

Brightness and contrast buttons on monitor is not working

I have a lenovo 3000H series desktop. Suddenly the brightness and contrast button on the monitor has stopped working. Please help.

Yes, I did restore it twice plugging it on the computer and using itunes and the hold/sleep/power off button wont still respond.
No matter how long I push it, it won't do anything so the screen or device won't shut off.
Everything else is working fine.
