    Screen capture appears dimmed/darker than actual


    Hello!I've been facing an issue recently where my screen captures appear darker than the original. I usually use the PrtScr shortcut via Snipping Tools. After conducting some experiments, I've observed that the screen capture results are influenced by brightness. Increasing the brightness helps, but the captures are still darker than what I see on the screen. This has been quite bothersome for me. All of these problems didn't occur beforeI would appreciate your assistance in finding a solution. Thank you.

    :)

  2. Dell XPS 9370 screen constantly changing brightness / dimming when a darker image is on screen

    Hi guys,

    I've done some research and realise this "adaptive brightness/screen dimming" thing has been a problem for many, I've attempted the various ways to "fix"it but sadly nothing is working for me :/

    I have the new Dell XPS 9370 with the 4k screen, running Windows 10.

    I spent the extra on the screen in hope to enjoy the quality while working on graphic design and videos etc, yet it has been the absolute worst experience as even with 100% brightness (draining the battery further) I can barely see anything with clarity
    half the time due to the screen constantly dimming so dark. It is really becoming a problem to the extent I hate using the laptop as it's just too difficult to see anything properly especially in photoshop, the one program I'd need constant brightness the
    most.

    I have turned off 'adaptive brightness' which did nothing, I have played around with all obvious settings with no avail. I also attempted the option others have had success with via the Intel Graphics Settings (however my version must be different as I have
    hardly any options to change under 'Power'...sadly I don't have the options others are showing they have).

    Might there be any other suggestions to turn off the annoying dimming the screen does when there's a darker image on screen? It seems so pointless to have such a thing in most cases, as when an image is darker that's usually the one time one might actually
    need a brighter screen.

    Any help would be extremely grateful, being an ex-Mac user, I am finally getting used to Windows, and I really do enjoy the XPS 9370, it's just a shame to spend $3000 on a laptop in attempt to enjoy a really nice screen (to be fair the screen is seriously
    amazing!) it's just a shame it's near impossible to even enjoy video playback due to the horribly dark screen/constant dimming.

    Even while writing this post the screen has changed brightness at least 3-4 times while scrolling up/down despite the extremely white background :/

    Thank you so much for any help in advance! Screen capture appears dimmed/darker than actual :)

    How to dim screen?

    I tried googling Windows Ten, "how to dim screen," but the layout listed is not the layout I have. I just got Ten yesterday. How do you dim the screen?

    I can't even find the options in the Display section.

    Screen dimming

    I used to get this and the setting was easily corrected. You can add the setting to your power options and can then disable it from there. Add or Remove Dim display after from Power Options - TenForumsTutorials my ditty on stopping Dim display after [post #3] - TenForums my ditty - Use PowerCfg commands to turn off Dim display after [post #16] - TenForums Best of luck, Denis
