How is the screen brightness? I have the flex 2 15 and its pretty dim.

I have purchased about 30 Lenovo Thinkpad E540s and 531s. I have no complaints on screen brightness and none of my users have mentioned anything regarding the screens. The Lenovo's are on par with other laptops I have purchased when it comes to screen brightness.

Yes, I'm noticing that it happens after it comes back from hibernation for me. Screen opens bright for a second, then goes dim. I suspect something with the power-saving options compromising the screen performance. Still haven't figured it out :(

I have actually tested the battery life at maximum use. From fully charged, I had the screen at 100% brightness, and going online, I was watching videos. My battery lasted a little bit more than 4 1/2 hours before it went to 0%.

I agree the backlite is faint. It is not a problem for me but, I definitely agree it is not very bright.

you could try going to Menu&gt;Picture&gt;Gaming&gt;More (at bottom for options)&gt;Color Temperature&gt; & change this to what you prefer. Also, maybe just changing the Picture Setting to something other than Gaming. The Picture gets almost 2x as bright when using this option.

I have the 47, yes there is some glare. Its worse than a matte screen but not as bad as some other glossy screens I have seen. During the day with a bunch of ambient light I turn the backlight up to about 70 or 80 and its not a problem. At night I generally turn off all my lights and turn down the backlight to 20 or 30 for the best experience.

It only has two brightness settings I would recommend changing the backlight color instead because some colors are brighter than others. To change the brightness level just hit the light button and to change the color hold down the light button and press the up or down arrow.

Yes the brightness is diminished but being able to see the screen when taking photographs outdoors was worth the trade off. The screen is easily removable for use indoor and can be reapplied any time needed for glare.

Hey Donald, I just replied to you on another one of these discussions and will do likewise on this one. Regarding the viewing angle, do any other 8 series owners think it... well... sucks? If I move so much as 5 degrees one way or another, the colors (particularly the blacks) start to fade. Wondering if this is one of the concessions for the 8 series' slim profile.

maybe double check the settings menu, I saw a "dynamic contrast" in there somewhere. Don't know if it would help any, or if it's default on or off, I was clicking all over the place! It could also be using more power to light up the screen? Is your video card good for the resolution? Just guesses....

I always use the flash, even in daylight. I don't have trouble with backlighting. I have used most of the "mode" settings.

I agree it is very dark or dim when I have it plugged in. If I unplug it the screen is very bright. Will contact garmin to see why. Also volume is very low

You can see but not as well... Just adjust the brightness and use an anti-glare screen protector, it'll definitely help. I guess that's an issue with tablets. Otherwise it's awesome.

I haven't used the TMax in a while but you should be able to go into the "settings" screen and brighten the screen from there. Either through a display setting or look for a slide tab for screen brightness.

If you look at power save options you can adjust the brightness I believe. I had similar issues, but the brightness is usually enough in power save mode that I don't have an issue with it.

It is a bit narrow but you can compensate for this easily.1. Make sure you have your colors, contrast and brightness calibrated via the menu. I had mine "red-shifted " when viewed at funny angles and as soon as I calibrated it to a balanced RGB setting it looked much more natural.2. Try setting it lower than you work and make use of the reclining stand. I work over the tablet most of the time anyway.

It sounds like the "backlight" in the screen went bad. if the backlight is going bad/dim, it will make colors look dull or washed out. However, if you think this is a software issue and not hardware, suggest you try to change your battery settings - change to maximum performance (instead of max battery) and see if that changes anything.
