Qosmio X770 screen is definitely not as bright as other laptops

I have visited SEVERAL retail stores selling the Qosmio X770 and the X770's screen is definitely NOT as bright as other laptops such as Satellite even other models of Qosmio.
I've compared the X770 against other laptops side by side at several retail stores, and the X770 seems dimmer. I made sure the brightness setting on both laptops were on maximum each time.
I've even opened up Notepad in Windows when comparing laptops and I noticed that not only is the X770 less bright, it has a lower "whiteness level". The white space (eg. in Notepad or when browsing the web) is "less white". The whiteness seems very dull in the X770 compared to other laptops.
I'm wondering if this is a flaw in the X770? I asked each salesman at each store and they said it's "normal", and that it is the way the laptop was designed.
Perhaps as a gaming laptop, they decided not to make it too bright to make gaming more comfortable? If one of the X770 engineers could answer this, i'd be very happy.
I'm in Australia by the way.

Hi
I dont have the X770 Qosmio but Ive got the U400 and a Tecra A11.
The display of U400 is brighter as the Tecra A11 display.
The point is that Tecra A11 is equipped with different LCD panel.
Type of Lighting is Sidelight, LED and the Brightness NIT (value) at 8 level (highest level) is220.
The U400 is equipped wit other LCD display and the Brightness NIT (value) at 8 level is 250.
So its 30NIT higher then on display using by Tecra A11
The X770 supports the 17.3"(HD+) display and the Brightness NIT at 8 level is 220NIT
So its the same brightness like on Tecra A11 but is dimmer as on display of U400.
But this is not a display fault or hardware problem. Its simply different kind of display.. you know
Personally I like both... both displays have advantages and disadvatages in the usage...

Re: Qosmio X770-105 - camera is not working with Skype

Hey,
I've just got Qosmio x770-105 and while setting up Skype the camera just stayed black and never showed any image. While using the Toshiba Web Camera Application it is working on Skype it just has stays black.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix that ?
Thanks Than

Well, you could try to remove the Toshiba Webcam Application from the system and could try to use just the Skype tool but this is just a suggestion not quite sure what cause this issue
It looks really like broken Skype utility have googled around and it looks like more Skype users have the same problem using different computers and different webcamsunfortunately did not find a exact solution proposal

Failed 17"MBP HD replaced by Genius, now screen is small/not as bright

I have read that with the 17" macbook pro you cannot change the size of everything w/out adjusting the resolution, but I am positive before my hard drive failed and was replaced by the apple store everything was bigger. After having my hard drive replaced everything is extremely small and my screen will not go as bright as it would before. Any suggestions?

You can try decreasing the screen resolution in system preferences>display and see if you can find a size you are comfortable with.

Backlit Keyboard Certain keys not as bright as others

I just got a new MBP 09, upgraded my old MBP. I am overwhelmed with improvements and speed. I noticed though that the whole keyboard is not lit. It seemed kind of odd and i have since tried searching for the standard, or possibly if anyone else has this same issue. I will post a link to the picture of what I am talking about, but I really noticed it when i put the brightness all the way up and the 7& key was extremely bright while the other keys were not. Im not sure whether this is normal or this is a defect. I thought I would get input prior to bothering the Genius' at Apple. The picture is at full brightness for the keys and half for the screen. With a light on in the room.

My brightest keys are 3,4,7,U,F3,F4,B,N from what I can see. This is at lower brightness. The more you raise the brightness, it's less noticeable.
Part of the reason is that some keys have more area where light can pass through. Obviously keys with smaller symbols won't shine through as bright. And since the LEDs are all glowing at the same brightness, you'll get discrepancy in overall brightness. If Apple took it a step further, they could have maybe governed the brightness depending on how much light shown through the key, and adjusted the final output of light.
But that's getting crazy. I have no problem with the light. I'm a touch typist so I don't even look at the keyboard but for maybe a function key or two. I just use the light more as a guide when I go to put my hands on the home row.

Xperia ZL - when I turn the screen image is not shown

I speak Spanish but try to leave the message in English too. SPANISH: Mi celular ZL presenta un problema, cuando enciendo la pantalla esta no muestra imagen. En otras palabras, la pantalla se ve negra. Esto sucede de forma aleatoria. Si tengo el celular en reposo (pero encendido) (por ejemplo en mi bolsillo o sobre mi escritorio) y quiero utilizarlo, presiono el botón de encendido, pero la pantalla no muestra imagen, el brillo de la pantalla enciende, el tactil funciona pero la imagen no se muestra. Cuando esto sucede, si presiono el botón de encendido 2 veces vuelve a presentar la imagen (la primera vez es como bloquear-apagar la pantalla, la segunda es como volverla a encender). Esto sucede de forma aleatoria entre días. También sucede al querer finalizar una llamada telefónica y separarlo de mi rostro la pantalla no muestra ninguna imagen lo que no me permite finalizar la llamada. También sucede de forma aleatoria cada tanto tiempo. Aunque suceda de forma aleatoria, es molesto y deseo encontrar solución al problema. He restablecido a datos de fabrica muchas veces y no se ha solucionado el problema. Soy de Colombia(país de latinoamerica) y la versión del sistema que tengo es Android 4.2.2 compilación 10.3.A.0.423. Via OTA y por PC Companion no aparece alguna nueva actualización. Si alguien tiene información al respecto, le sucede el mismo problema o tiene algún comentario al respecto, yo agradezco responda este mensaje. Si hay una forma de reportar este problema a los desarrolladores de Sony para que lo tengan en cuenta por favor informarme como hacerlo.gracias. ENGLISH: My cell ZL has a problem, when I turn the screen image is not shown. In other words, the screen is black. This happens at random. If I have the cell at rest (but on) (for example in my pocket or on my desk) and I use it, I press the power button, but the screen shows no picture, the screen brightness on, the touch works but the image is not displayed. When this happens, if I press the power button 2 times again presents the image (the first time is like block-off the screen, the second is like it back on). This happens randomly between days. It also happens to want to end a phone call and separate from my face the screen does not display an image which does not allow me to end the call. It also happens randomly every so often. Although happen randomly, it's annoying and I want to find solution to the problem. I reset to factory data many times and has not fixed the problem.

Qosmio X770 display not recognized anymore

I just bought a Qosmio x770 about a month ago and some day when I started it the login screen never appeared.
In linux left me in command prompt and said that no screen configuration was found.
Windows said nothing but the screen remained black.
After a number of reboots it worked normally but only for a couple of hours.
Plugged to an external monitor it works.
Also when I boot in safemode (or failsafe) it works (I mean I can enter windows/linux at 640x480 resolution).
I updated the bios to the latest version 1.30. What more else to try?
It's really uncomfortable to send it back because I need it for my job (even connected to another monitor).
My hope is that the problem is not hardware related and somehow I can solve it.
Is there a chance?
Thank you!

I reinstalled the windows driver in safe mode ... and nothing.. But I didn't do anything before the problem appeared ... And linux is not recognizing the screen also. I tried to boot from an external hdd and the same problem. Fn F5 show me only the external monitor. I tried some 3d games on the external monitor and everything seem ok. When connected to hdmi linux boots up in X Windows but when running nvidia-settings there is no internal display ... only the external one.
The strange thing is that the internal display is working in safe mode ... is it possible to be damaged then?
Thank you

Wifi is not working after upgrading W10 on Qosmio x770

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. Unfortunately, I don't have information on that model. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.
If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

Qosmio x770/00x - button 1 does not work pressing 6 and other button

This is going to sound so weird, but bear with me...
I just got a Qosmio x770/00x a couple of weeks ago, mostly for gaming purposes.
I play in left-handed configuration, using the Num pad as directional keys, with some of the other non-directional numbers mapped to things like 'jump' and 'melee', etc.
I have the '1/End' key mapped usually to the 'Crouch' motion in games, and noticed that if I press the '6/Right' key, in combination with any other number key, the '1/End' key won't register!
This means if I'm moving Forwards in a game, and Strafe to the right, I can't simultaneously crouch.
I've done a bit of playing around, and it seems that this bug isn't limited to my unit, or to any particular program. If you try a similar thing in any other program (eg Notepad), and hold the '6' key down along with any other number key, the '1' key won't register.
However it seems that it *has* to be the '6' key in the combination (eg. if you press '4' and '7' together, and then press '1', the '1' will still register.
Have also tried this on the store demo model at the local computer place, and it seems that it's a problem with this particular model.
The store computer runs Windows 7 Home Premium.
I'm running Win7 Pro. BIOS and Windows are fully updated.
Have also tried it on my older P-series Satellite, and that doesn't have the same problem.
Any ideas?

Ive got 2 notebooks from two different manufactures and the button 1 does not register if 6 + other button is pressed.
Dont think its a really a keyboard bug because this happen with my two notebooks which are not really similar to each other

Qosmio X305 screen not displaying like my desktops LCD screen

My screen seems to be displaying dull images.
I'm kinda concerened, because it's an LCD screen, and its not displaying like my desktops LCD screen.
I put the brightness up, and that helped to see the images better, but they still are not of the quality they should be.
Is there a way to fix this? Or is that just how it is?

Many Desktop LCD Monitors can get very bright, much brighter than most notebooks. So it may just be how it is. Perhaps you could go to the shops and compare it to other X300's on display.
Try resetting or modifying the Contrast/Colour/Brightness settings in the nVidia control panel.

Qosmio X770 - system + all apps report Intel controller active, not GTX560M

Hi everybody,
As per the thread topic:
X770 - system + all apps report Intel controller active, not GTX560 M ??
I just bought for my family a Qosmio X770 and Window system report plus games like Diablo III report that the Intel HD family controler is the active video card, and not the GTX560M ?
How can it be? The computer is straight from the factory. Are both active, do I have to deactivate manually the Intel controller in the System panel?
This seems super weird to me that such thing exists.
Please advise, that would be much appreciated!
TIA.
Lorelei & family.

Hi
You cannot disable the internal Intel graphic.
The point is that this is controlled automatically if the graphic card supports the Optimus nVidia technology.
If the application needs full graphic performance, the external nVidia chip will be used.
If the application does not need the strong graphic performance, the Intel internal GPU would be used in order to save the power.
But of course you can assign the GPU to a single application.

External speakers do not turn off Qosmio x770 speakers

When I plug external speakers on my Qosmio x770-135 the internal speakers don't turn off.
Can someonee help me?

You may check the Realtek HD Audio Manager in the Control Panel.
In the top right corner, there's a little yellow folder called "Connector Settings.
There, you could enable the setting "Enable pop-up dialog, when device is plugged in".
Now when you plug in an external speaker or headphones, it pops up and I select the option "headphone" (instead of "line-in"), and then the sound comes out only through the headphones/ext.speaker.

Qosmio x770 nvidia and battery software

Hello.
I've got a qosmio x770 model PSBY5U (Windows7, 64bits) and suddenly I've noticed that my nvidia hardware (GTX560M) was not listed in the device manager lists. Before I've noticed, I've got some blue screens of death (most of them, after coming back from "sleeping" mode).
First thing I thought about, the driver. Looked for the most updated driver and it couldnt find any hardware to work with. So I restored the whole system and installed the original drvier. So far it was all good and back to normal but after I installed all my software back and after several rebooting, the nvidia was gone again and after sleeping the machine and starting it again, another blue screen.
I decided on restoring the qosmio to its total factory state, did everything all over again (drivers and stuff), worked just fine and after several normal shut downs it dissapeared again, and so on.
Any idea of what is going on? Also, starting from these, I've noticed that the "eco utility" doesn't work anymore. When active, my battery drains very fast (it's not the battery). and these started to happen as soon as the nvidia problem started. While just the system restored, the eco utility works just fine, after the nvidida dissapears, it doesn't economized the battery. Any idea?
Thank's a lot!
PS. Excuse my bad english. Not an english speaker.

If something you're installing is interfering, try using System Restore to restore a previous restore point from before this became an issue.
Install software one at a time to determine which program is causing the problem.

Qosmio X770 - cant choose Built-In 3D-Emitter

Hey guys i just recently bought the Qosmio X770 with integrated NVIDIA 3d Vision, but when i want to enable 3D i cant choose Built-In 3d-Emitter because it doesnt show up only for the other 3D Kits.
I upgraded from Home Premium to Ultimate by the way.
Any Help?

The model is X770-11C, and it does have an internal emitter. As you said it is on the right side of the webcam. After all 3D was working about a year ago when I got the PC.
Unfortunately the manuals from NVidia don't give very much help either.
This is what I try to do:
- activate 3D Vision
- I get 4 choices
USB-infrared emitter and glasses
wired glasses
Pro-hub and glasses
Discover glasses
I'm not sure which one is the right one for my glasses, the type is P854. Looks like pro-hub according to the picture.
After choosing them the next screen says that I should plugin the emitter into the usb hub. That's where I have to stop installation.

Qosmio X770-11C - good or bad experience?

As a fan of Toshiba products (after my two Toshiba PC’s: protege M200, Satellite A200-1DS), I have decided to by a more performance one.
So I bought Toshiba Qosmio X770-11C, I was satisfied by the high performances, as I'm using matlab and 3dsmax.
Then after 7 months I have started to see blue screens;
I thought that may be with window 8 the problems will be resolved, unfortunately not….
Calling Toshiba, they have repaired it (when I received it, stating windows… blue screen again…
so I don’t know what they have repaired…..!!!)
Calling them again, for many times, at last after 3 months and half they send UPS to repair it… till now my PC is at toshiba to be repaired…
For me it is a good luck with toshiba: I bought my PC .. I used it for 7 months… then.. I’m in stand by… :(
I think this will be my last Toshiba PC…
Unfortunately I loved their products before, so I’m looking now for Lenovo, any one has an idea about the performances of such pc’s.?

Sorry to read all this. Qosmio series is best Toshiba multimedia machine but it was always too expensive for me so Im user of Satellite P series. Ai still use my Satellite P500 in hope Toshiba will offer again one big P series again. I love 18,4 display.
I dont know which BSOD have you noticed (error code) and what can be the reason. Have you tried to reinstall recovery image and test functionality with factory settings again?
I rally hope you will get your Qosmio soon and everything will be OK again.

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
The calendar however, is not easy to use.
The typing function on the phone has become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

Qosmio X770 screen is definitely not as bright as other laptops
