Adjusting the screen brightness on an HP laptop.

Typically, when you buy a new HP laptop, the manufacturer sets the screen brightness to a default of 85% to 96%, as this is the standard brightness level suitable for most laptop users. However, you shouldn't always leave it at the default brightness. You'll need to adjust the HP laptop screen brightness to suit your environment, the lighting conditions where you're using the computer, and most importantly, to ensure your eyes are comfortable.

Adjusting the brightness of your laptop screen will help make it easier on your eyes.

How to adjust the screen brightness on an HP laptop.

With HP laptops, you can adjust screen brightness in one of four ways.

Method 1: Using keyboard shortcuts

HD laptops use inverted keys, so when using shortcuts to increase or decrease screen brightness, you don't need to use the Fn + -> key combination. You just need to press the F key directly (look for keys from F1 to F12 with an up or down arrow symbol or a plus or minus sign; these are the keys to increase or decrease laptop screen brightness).
