    iPhone XR Question for XR owners

    How is watching movies on the XR in terms of screen brightness (and just generally) compared to the Max or a plus phone (any of them)? I did compare my 6s+ to an XR and Max in store playing various videos via youtube and found that the XR looked better than my 6S+. But I've read that the XR...

    Firstly, I searched and couldn’t find a similar post. I can be reading a webpage in a steadily illuminated room and the brightness will suddenly dim slightly and then appear to creep back up to its original brightness. I understand the concept of auto brightness, but there is no significant...

    Unable to adjust screen brightness in Windows

    I'm using a late-2012 MBP with Bootcamp Windows 10 Pro (installed through BC Assistant). I'm unable to adjust screen brightness at all, either through F1/F2 (the slider shows up and animates, but doesn't do anything) or the sliders in control panel. I've googled for quite a while and haven't...

    With my new XS Max, I found the initial screen settings to be quite DIM: even after the common solution of turning off the Auto-Brightness feature (conveniently hidden in the Display Accommodations pane of the Accessibility settings), I had an issue with my brightness slider randomly failing to...

    Netflix on Mac gamma flicker whenever the picture changes

    I read old posts about this but never has anyone had a solution for it. What I mean is, when watching Netflix on Mac in fullscreen the gamma of the whole screen changes whenever the video has a drastic image change. Most noticeable when subtitles are enabled. Every time the subtitle turns on and...

    Resolved Can't adjust brightness (MacBook Pro - Bootcamp)

    I have a feeling it's a conflict with the NVIDIA driver but I was wondering if anyone has found a solution for this? It's not the adaptive brightness, I've already got that unticked. The brightness bar moves, however the brightness stays the same.

    Removal of the Auto-Brightness option

    In Settings > Display & Brightness, the Auto-Brightness option has been removed in iOS 11 and set to on. This is a terrible decision. Auto-Brightness has been poor on any device I have ever seen it, and iOS has always been particularly bad. It is inconsistent and over aggressive. I appear to...
