Hi @asp1ny,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If the display on your HP 15.6 inch Laptop PC 15-d5000 (4V9X9AV) is not appearing sharp and requires additional contrast adjustments, there are several steps you can take to try to resolve the issue. Let's go through some potential solutions:

1. Adjust Display Settings

• Resolution: Ensure that your laptop's display resolution is set to its native resolution. This is the resolution at which your display's visual quality will be at its sharpest. You can adjust this by going to Settings > System > Display in Windows and looking for the Display resolution section.
• Scale and Layout: While in the same Display settings, also check the Scale and layout section. Sometimes, setting scaling to 100% (or the recommended setting) can improve sharpness.

2. Calibrate Display Color

• Windows has a built-in tool for color calibration. You can access it by searching for "Calibrate display color" in the Start menu. This tool guides you through adjusting your gamma, brightness, contrast, and color balance settings, which can help improve overall display sharpness and clarity.

3. Update Graphics Driver

• Outdated or corrupted graphics drivers can cause display issues. Make sure your laptop’s graphics drivers are up to date. You can usually find the latest drivers on HP’s official website or by using the Device Manager in Windows (Right-click on Start > Device Manager > Display adapters > right-click on your graphics card > Update driver).

4. Check for Windows Updates

• Sometimes, Microsoft releases updates that can improve hardware compatibility and performance. Make sure your Windows is up to date by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and clicking on Check for updates.

5. Adjust Intel Graphics Settings

• If your laptop uses Intel graphics, you can use the Intel Graphics Control Panel to adjust contrast and sharpness. Right-click on the desktop and select Intel Graphics Settings. Look for the Display or Color settings to adjust contrast and other visual settings.

6. HP Display Control

• Some HP laptops come with HP Display Control software that allows you to adjust the display settings directly. Check if your laptop has this software installed, and explore the settings for any adjustments that might improve sharpness and contrast.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
