Change Brightness in HDMI IN mode

[ChrisGAZ20]

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to change the screen brightness when I am in HDMI mode with another device plugged in to HDMI port.  I do not know how to active the HDMI On Screen Menu.  My computer does not have a Menu button.  I am using a wireless keyboard (Came with computer).  I did recently have to reinstall windows 10 and now I am wondering if I am missing drivers or something else.  So for starters how does one activate the HDMI on screen menu when in HDMI mode.

Welcome to HP Community

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

I suggest you download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_us/en/any/psg/p...

HPSA will automatically search for all the latest drivers for your Notebook

1. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.

   

2. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.

   

3. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.

4. Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.

5. Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

Also ensure Windows is up to date.

Select the Start  button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update , and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available

Keep me posted how it goes

Thank you and have a wonderful day 😊

Hello KrazyToad, 

Still looking for how to enable the On Screen Menu Display when in HDMI IN mode.  How does one adjust the brightness of the screen?

@ChrisGAZ20 Here's all you need to know:

• Select action center  on the right side of the taskbar, and then move the Brightness slider to adjust the brightness. (If the slider isn't there, see the Notes section below.)

  

• Some PCs can let Windows automatically adjust screen brightness based on the current lighting conditions. To find out if your PC supports this, go to Settings  > System > Display. Under Brightness and color, look for the Change brightness automatically when lighting changes check box, and then select it to use this feature. This automatic setting helps make sure your screen is readable wherever you go. Even if you use it, you can still move the Change brightness for the built-in display slider to fine-tune the brightness level.
• Notes: 

  • You might not see the Change brightness for the built-in display slider on desktop PCs that have an external monitor. To change the brightness on an external monitor, use the buttons on it.

  • The Brightness slider appears in action center in Windows 10, version 1903. To find the brightness slider in earlier versions of Windows 10, select Settings  > System > Display, and then move the Change brightness slider to adjust the brightness.

  • If you don't have a desktop PC and the slider doesn't appear or work, try updating the display driver. In the search box on the taskbar, type Device Manager, and then select Device Manager from the list of results. In Device Manager, select Display adapters, then select the display adapter. Press and hold (or right-click) the display adapter name, then select Update driver and follow the instructions.

Regardless of you using HDMI or not, the above steps are the only ways of getting the brightness changed.

Thanks for the info, but this does not help.  When I am in HDMI IN mode, I am using the screen as an extended display for another computer.  I do not have access to any menus.  Is there a key on the keyboard that will popup an on screen display?

Thanks for keeping me posted

Since you are using the screen as HDMI Mode, the Brightness will need to be adjusted through the other computer since the monitor does not have a OSD Menu option
