How to turn up the brightness on an LG Smart TV
LG Smart TVs are considered to produce quality images and provide a user-friendly settings interface that helps you to tweak just about anything you want. The usage of these devices is quite simple, as it is equipped with several intelligent features. For example, you can control your TV just by using your voice.
One of the best things about LG Smart TVs is that they have features designed to help you save energy.
By default, your TV automatically scans the immediate environment for ambient light and then the screen brightness is automatically adjusted due to this. As the amount of ambient light increases, your TV’s brightness goes down, thereby helping you to save energy.
The problem with this feature is that your TV’s brightness levels will keep on changing all day long. It can sometimes make your screen too dark and ruin your viewing experience.
On the other hand, your TV’s energy-saving mode can be simply turned off and locked in a consistent brightness level that reflects your preference and taste.
To do that you should follow the steps below:
- First of all, you should open the Settings section of your TV
- Then, tap on “All Settings”.
- After that, you should choose “Picture”.

- In the end, choose “Off” and then tap on “Close” In this way will turn off your TV’s Energy Saving feature and reset its brightness to a standard, constant level.
