[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 837987, member: 10543"] I bought a new Windows 11 HP laptop to replace my 14 year old laptop running Windows 10 and am frustrated to find there's no way to adjust basic contrast on the display. I find that it's a known problem. There's a "color contrast" calibration, but it provides no improvement. There seems to be much misunderstanding on Internet forums, that "Contrast" is the same as "Brightness" and these conversations lead nowhere. A lot of posts state "Contrast", but when you go there to read, the supposed path to adjust Contrast doesn't exist. Nikonites members will know exactly what Contrast is. Can anyone suggest a solution, perhaps third party display software that's good? I'd rather avoid suggestions to change my operating system to this or that or change to an Apple; at 65+, I no longer enjoy messing with tech like I once did. I might have to buy a supplementary monitor if I can find one with a contrast adjustment, but I don't have a lot of desk space. Or, I could continue to use my old laptop for photo processing, but it's terribly slow. Thank you for any suggestions. (y) [/QUOTE]
