I recently got a used HP Pavilion DV6000 running windows 7 Pro. well something is not right with the screens display. I cant tell what the problem is exactly. It just doesn't look right to me. I know the display is dim & needs to be brighter for one. Im a rookie when it comes to computers & have no idea how to adjust the display settings ect. Can someone please help me? Please & thank you!

Hello saraveza408

Try calibrating the display, detailsHere

Also worth checking is the power settings, see Here

There should also be a function key for adjusting the brightness - this is sometimes pressed on it`s own or in unison with the Fn key.

Well I did the 1st 2 things and it looks a little better. Thanks! And for some reason none of my Fn + another key thing doesn't work at all.

Glad to hear that there has been some improvement at least.

I believe that it is meant to be the Fn + the F2 key on many HP notebooks.

A least favoured suggestion would be to uninstall the monitor and it`s drivers in the Device Manager and then select the scan for hardware changes, this to see if your HP drivers have been replaced by generic Windows ones.

Great! My display is lookin good now & I feel its worthy enough to play my YoVille on!
Thanks Phill, I believe you have helped me a few times throughout the past few years.
Sometimes I don't know what Id do if I didn't have Geeks to Go!
