Question screen resolutions

[PaulDesmond]

Hi. Odd description for this. I have only recently got into using laptops for the first time. I hate the screen size and the touch sensitivity keboard. Not to mention the rubbish mouse pad. HOWEVER. I took it into the garden yesterday to watch the Wimbeldon. Could hardly see the screen untill the shade came across. Is there something I could by to get rid of the glare from the light (not sun). The sun was in front of me it was just the general light behind.

TA.

Desmond.

What laptop is it? Asking if it has brightness keys, should be an F key with symbol looking similar to an enlarged asterisk, imitating snow flake kind of. - for low + for higher. Adjust as needed. Think brightness 🔅 is what you need. Otherwise an umbrella for you 😀

This is an ASUS notebook. I have set brilliance to it's highest.

I'll be voting for you 😁

Best you could do is some shade over the screen. Umbrella to sit under or laptop itself with it's own shade.

You need a brighter screen (stating the obvious).

A typical laptop screen designed for use indoors has a maximum screen brightness typically in the range 300 to 400 nits.

The Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha 13.3-inch QLED has a maximum screen brightness of 600 nits which is getting closer to the ideal for viewing outdoors.

Modern smartphones are getting brighter with screens rated at 900 nits or higher. Much better for outdoor use.

Modern HDR TVs can have HDR brightness ratings exceeding 1,200 nits (cd/m2). Professional displays much higher.

If you can find an affordable laptop with an HDR screen rated at 800 to 1,000nits, it should be possible to watch Wimbledon in the garden even when it's sunny. At 400 nits it probably won't be bright enough.

The following quote is from the web site link below.

The measurement unit for luminance is candelas/m2 or “nits.” This term is popular in the technical specifications for professional monitors, consumer monitors, and laptop displays. Various standards are already published to characterize which display can be qualified as an HDR display. Generally, the brightness is 400 nits for laptops and increases to 1000 or 10,000 nits for sophisticated professional monitors.

What I need then is a good hi-res monitor for it. Never seen Nit values in a spek.
Looking at the back of mgLGM37A, I so no value and online no value. But A contrast of 200cd/M2

A modern very expensive smartphone with an output of 1,000 nits (cd/m2) should be watchable in bright sunlight, but a tiny screen is far from ideal for sports such as Wimbledon.

If your laptop is only capable of 200 nits, I'd suggest using it indoors. None of my laptops, tablets or phones are any good outside in bright sunlight.
