The characters on the screen of my TI-86 are very dim and I need to be under a good light to read them. Is this normal? Can I adjust the brightness?

That happens sometimes. Hit shift (2nd) and the arrow up to increase the brightness. Keep doing that until you can see the numbers.

Is you haven't already, hit 2nd and then press the up key and repeat the process until you are able to read the screen. If this doesn't work, try replacing the batteries and use the previous method until you can read your screen.

If you look at power save options you can adjust the brightness I believe. I had similar issues, but the brightness is usually enough in power save mode that I don't have an issue with it.

Hi LanceB, you can adjust the LCD screen's brightness and contrast. -Vincent

Yes, the WFR-28's display brightness adjustable. In the main menu, in "settings" the brightness can be adjusted.

The dimmer has a way of lowering the minimum brightness setting. If you read the instructions, it is under the "Setting Minimum Light Level (Programming mode)" in the "Operation" section. That said, when I tried doing it, it didn't bring the brightness level down below the default setting. So, maybe you can bring it up, but not down further than the default. We ended up putting lower lumen bulbs in one room where I wanted the minimum brightness to be lower.

There is an option called CATS, turn it off {menu-->Picture, scroll down to C.A.T.S.} When set on it adjusts the screens brightness according to the ambient light

The set I have will dim by 8 steps. The dim setting is a very soft glow, maybe the brightness of a single candle. That is on white, you can get it softer by changing colors. The brightest setting is enough to read by, but just barely. I was very surprised by the brightness of the strips, and the amount of control that you have.

The lighting on the LED numbers can be dimmed. It sounds like this could be happening. Have you tried hitting the "snooze" button? That will dim the numbers each time you press it until you can't see it anymore. Press it again and it should light up bright. Hopefully that helps!

Try this: go to "settings" (upper-left of the arrows)....use right arrow to get to Brightness, further right arrows to adjust,use OK, then "EXIT".

it is kinda dim, i was a little bit dissapointed when i first got the keyboard, but now it's okay actually, i wouldn't want it to be any brighter, because it would be annoying at night time. Night time the keyboard is perfect, not too dim not too bright :)

There is no way to adjust brightness that I am aware. Work in an office with 2 ywo tube flourescent fixtures and have no problem readingnumbers

The screen is not overly bright. It is good for playing games. I do not remember if there was a brightness control. I hope this description is good enough without resorting to a scale.

When I go to the Brightness menu I can drag the "ball" on the line from side to side to adjust the brightness. I hope that helps.

I think I found an answer to the issue. The problem I had is that I changed the settings immediately to "Dynamic," which raises the brightness significantly, and is only supposed to be used in a very bright room. When I put the settings back to normal everything looks great and the side light issues disappear. I guess I just need to listen to the suggestions of what the different picture modes are for.

There is no adjustment beyond the normal setting brightness to 100%. It is just a bad choice of screen and that is why I only rated this product three stars.

Like previous answer, the point is to have the light on. However you can make it quote dim. I usually turn the brightness down a notch or two anyway.

Yes. Under all the modes, there is a setting called EV where you can adjust for brightness. Hope this helps.
