First of all a big high to the Community and secondly I'm really impressed with my new HP Envy Recline 23"!
Now to important business!...
I have been looking high and low for a solution (for the last two days) to gain access to my Windows8.1native brightness setting on my charm bar to improve the impact of my screen for graphic and web design work... something really important to me! and my clients!
I have become aware of two importnat things so far...
- HP has an alternative solution to the brightness issue by using HP My Display utility
- HP has not tested this PC with Windows 8.1
In the first case the HP My Display utility application just doesn't cut it! From what I can make out it can only deliver half of the brightness that my Windows8.1 native brightness setting can... I have Windows8.1 running on my iMac with access to the native brightness setting on the charm bar and puts out twice the screen brightness then what the HP My Display utility can achive!
I think in the second case I have my answer! HP hasn't tested my Envy Recline 23" and therefore I haven't any Windows8.1 drivers to allow me to use the Windows8.1 native brightness settings!
HP, can I ask you a really important favour!!! Can you please look into releasing the needed Windows8.1 drivers for my desktop model asap... I really need propoer brightness control over my fantastic looking 23" screen!
Can you please give me an ETA on when you see this happeing.
Thank you in advance.
