Taking into account their users’ feedback, the developers have introduced, as of this build, the possibility to change image quality by making the display less bright.

How to adjust display brightness in Windows 10?

One checkbox allows for changing brightness automatically when lighting changes. This feature basically does what the Night light feature did, adjusting display luminosity to be calmer for the eye. The other checkbox allows to adjust display contrast in order to save battery. As Microsoft puts it, the content adaptive brightness control settings have been highly requested by users. But for some user categories, they might do more damage. The two checkboxes might not be displayed simultaneously on every device, as they depend on the model. So some users might see one option only.

More awareness for high-quality displays

In the same Display section, starting this preview build, Windows Insiders are able to see if their display is HDR-certified. This detail should be visible under Advanced display settings. The feature is being gradually rolled out and developed. So it’s possible that some users see their display as not certified, although it is. The detail should be corrected in the shortest time possible. Since HDR monitors deliver higher contrast than regular displays, with this option, Microsoft aims at promoting the need for higher quality products in order to obtain more visually impactful experiences. For sure, if you’re one of the many Windows 10 users who have provided Microsoft with feedback regarding display settings, these changes are dedicated to you. So we’d like to know what’s your take on these improvements, although you might not fully take advantage of them yet, unless you’re part of the program. Use the comments section.
