I updated the BIOS to 2.26 a while ago and ever since then there's no on-screen indication of caps lock on/off, screen brightness or volume when I change it. Since it seemed to be affected by BIOS, I updated again to 2.27 just now, but the problem persists. I needed to update the Hotkeys Feature Integration by downloading the utility thingy from this page. Probably wasn't a BIOS thing after all.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThere seems to be a lot of talk (and a couple of posts) about people not satisfied with the RGB screen. Out of curiosity, I'd like to see how many people like it and how many would do without.
If you like it, please post if you had to do a lot of calibration to make it satisfy you.
If you dislike it, please post why (seems like a big problems is reds).
Planning to buy SXPS 16 but need to know about the screen first.
In the website i got
15.6 " 1080p WUXGA (1920x1080) WLED Full HD Display
15.6" Edge to Edge Full High Definition (1080p) Display with TrueLife(TM
i just got my Studio XPS 16 in from the dell outlet. it looks perfect other then the fact that between the glass and the screen there are 2 small marks that are not dead or stuck pixels.
i have one on the upper right and the other thats right in the middle. i was wondering if there was a way of fixing this as its anyouing the heck out of me
I am running Windows 7 x64 RC1 and whenever I put the computer out of sleep mode the screen brightness is at max.
I normally put it on minimum, but sleep doesn't remember that
What do you think of the resolution on a 16" notebook? Is it too high..? Dell's offering a 1600x900 version now; I'm wondering which to get .....
View 10 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone's screen dim itself every now and then? I don't know if it's a defect in the screen or maybe a bug in Quickset or something else, but occasionally my screen just dims a few levels.
Quickset shows it still maxed out and lowering it a notch and raising it back up using the keyboard shortcuts makes it go back to normal.
Recently saw a topic about the removal of the edge-to-edge screen of the SXPS 13/16, and found this video:

I have the WLED Full HD display with the 4670 card. The issue I am having is that on the right side of the screen (rightmost two inches) on a white background only on the white area you can see a faint flickering that sometimes looks like waves coming up from the upper right conner. Again, this effect is very faint, yet visible if you know about it. Is like the wind is messing up the "water" or something.
To see it/test it open IE (or notepad etc) at google and look at the right most side in the white area. It is easier to see if the screen is tilted away from you or looking from under, however, I can see it in the regular position I use.
If you have the same configuration can you please check yours if you see anything?
The problem it is not visible in an external monitor.
Dell replaced my screen in which the problem is milder than the previous screen, but it is still there.
I kinda accepted it as fact of life for the screen, however, when I update the ATI driver, during the update process the screen flickers for a second or two (goes black) and after that there is no problem until I reboot. So apparently the driver is reseting something that makes the problem go away.
I now have Win7 RTM, but the problem was present with Vista and in the Dell Diags CD (if you move the Diags window to the right). I have the A10 BIOS, the problem was also present with A8.
The screen brightness setting does not affect it.
I run a couple screen test software with a lot of patterns no additional problems there ,i.e., no distortion of the patterns, other than the above issue on a white background.
I do not mean to be picky about it, but it bugs me since my other laptops do not have this issue and now that I found that the issue can go away momentarily with the driver update/change.
I have a Dell Latitude E6400 and am extremely happy with it as I've had no major problems with it so far (touch wood), but just last week, the screen started to go dim and then bright, really annoyingly.
I can tell it must be to with the sensor thing below the screen as when I put my finger over it, it goes dimmer.
I have a Dell Ultrasharp 1707FP. It is connected via DVI. I was looking at the on screen options, and i can only adjust the brightness.
My whites looked kinda yellow, and the whole screen did not really look that bright. but it still looked good, as i was very happy with it.
So i adjusted the brightness from 75 to 90, and it looks alot better, as now the whites are white and colors are also bright yet the dark colors are still dark.
I bought a Dell XPS 14 this year, and its win 8
Recently I found that I cannot alter my screen brightness, it worked when I got the computer.
Both of Fn+ F4/F5 and Control panel are out of work
I re-install the Quickest and the problem still exist.
So as the title indicates, i get choppy video when i try to watch some sort of online stream such as youtube or hulu in full screen view.
It's unbarebly choppy, just not as smooth as it could be.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Fullscreen viewing works fine on my XPS desktop (4 years old), so i dont think its the internet
I've got an Inspiron 1420 running vista ultimate. I've had some bug issues in the past where I would set the screen brightness to 100% in both battery mode and plugged-in mode and it will still look dim but those issues always got resolved after a reboot.................................................
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy Vostro screen is really really dim, I've never noticed this until I compared it to other laptops and screens.
I was wondering how is your Vostro 1400? are you happy with the brightness?
I'm not sure what make of a screen I have but I'd gladly buy a new one and replace this one if I knew other screen makes for this model are brighter.
Here's the comparison shot with 1400 vs Vostro 1300, brightness of both is set to max.

I have a Dell Vostro 1500. While working on a Ispiron 1525 I noticed how much brighter the screen was than my Vostro.
I had the brightness turned up all the way on both notebooks. But the screen was noticeably brighter.
The Inspirons resolution was 1280x800 or something along that line.
I just installed Win7 RC 64-bit on my xps1330. Everything is working except the screen brightness setting.
Windows 7 screen brightness settings in power management act more like a switch than a slider. When set below a certain point, the screen either dims to a very low level and flickers, or turns off completely and the only way to restore it is to close the lid (sleep), and then wake the laptop.
The [func] + arrow keys also work erratically. As it stands, the screen can either be on full brightness, or very dimly lit and flickering, or off completely. Anyone else experiencing similar symptoms
I've reinstalled Windows Vista on my E6400.
I can controll the screen brightness with the [FN] + [UP] / [DOWN] keys, but I can't see if it's up 50%, 80%, 100% etc. Before the reinstall I could se this on the display via some sort of Dell-tool.
Which driver/tool should I install from Dell to be able to see the percentage again?

Just installed Windows 7 on my E4300. This is the first time I'm trying out an OS other than XP (never touched Vista)
Most of the components seem to work well.
Can anyone tell me if they got the screen brightness (Fn + up, down or left arrows) to work? I can see the toggle on the screen move from left to right in the settings, but the actual screen doesn't actually go dim or bright.
When I pull the power and run on batt, the screen dims (and I cannot make it brighter). And if it's on power, I cannot dim it either.
Is this a driver issue? Which driver? The closest one I see is the Video driver.
Also, does anyone also notice the mouse pad being sluggish?
I'm so used to very fast mouse where if I move my finger from the top right to the bottom left, the mouse arrow also does the same on the screen in one shot.
this is a little thing I noticed just last night, actually, about my 1640, I guess I probably didn't pay much attention to it before, but:
Most easily seen when the background is black (e.g. screen saver, boot-up, etc.), I noticed that the black in the middle is the darkest,
whereas the black on the left and right sides are slightly lighter (as if due to extra residual light from either side), and gradually smooths into the darkest of the black, of course
This is interesting... a friend of mine just tried to order the SXPS with the i7-820 processor and got denied by Dell. Apparently, the 1645 has been fully discontinued, and Dell will no longer be placing the i7-820 processor in any SXPS form factor. They quoted that due to hardware and power issues as the reason behind discontinuing the 1645 (and replacing it with the 1647) and killing i7-820 support. The sales rep said the only offering will be the Studio series for the i7-820.
As a 1645 owner with the i7-820, this is kinda scary that this laptop has been discontinued this quickly as well as the offering of the 820 series chip. We ended up calling a second time, and another sales rep confirmed the same story.
Anyone get similar information from Dell on this? I'm also wondering if this is a "Dell Canada" thing...
I've had my trusty Dell Inspiron 6400 since 2006 and it's still going strong, but over the last couple of months
I've noticed that the screen doesn't appear to be as bright as it used to be. It's as if the brightness isn't set to full, but when you try to increase it you discover it is at full brightness.
Can LCD screens become dimmer over time and would a replacement screen fix this?
When I unplug my laptop, and I have maximum brightness set on screen, there is this really high pitch hum and flickering of the screen. Does anyone know what I can do?
View 7 Replies View Relateddoes anybody know how to get the Windows 7 built-in screen brightness control to work with the D830?
Manual brightness control via FN+Up/Down works perfect, but Windows 7 does not offer software brightness control in energy options.
My second notebook (5 years old Toshiba) offers this (you will see a brightness slider when clicking on the battery/energy symbol in system tray).
As a result Windows is dimming (not turning off) the display automatically after a few minutes idle time.
System is Latidtude D830 with Intel onboard graphics and 1680x1050 screen
I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 and the screen was going on it so I bought a replacement screen off of eBay. It didn't come with an inverter so I used the existing one.
The new display works great, but now the brightness settings are reversed. Turning up the brightness in the BIOS makes the screen dimmer and vice-versa.
I'm running windows 7 64bit, I got a new RGBLED screen as a replacement mid last week. Now I just realized that when I close the lid the screen isn't turning off. I've went through all of the power options and set it to "Do nothing" when closing the lid and that, for every single laptop I've owned has made the screen to shut off when closed. If I let it idle it'll dim and then shut down like it normally would during windows use. Is there a quickfix or some sort of driver needed?
Also grabbed a 9cell battery from a parts sort locally, couldn't believe they had a 9cell for $30! This thing looks brand new, but I'm suspicious that it might be some chinese fake, how can I determine if it's real? It only have 1.0% of wear on it according to HWiNFO32.
I can't adjust screen brightness using either function key or in control panel. Using the function key the little panel of brightness volume shows up on the screen but does nothing. And in control panel, through either the bottom brightness scroll or the power option won't change anything. Only time when the brightness will change is I unplug the power, but in the power settings it won't let me change/adjust the brightness.
And what is the battery function key for? I press it and it does nothing. XPS L521x
