How to further reduce brightness? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible? When I read stuff in bed which is a bad idea the screen is damaging my eyes even with -5.
Thanks

I use a free program called screen filter:

That app puts a filter on the screen. has a minor battery drain as it runs on the background.
A better way to do this is by modifying the firmware to reduce brightness levels beyond the factory designated point. It was possible in S2 and Galaxy S. But the same method doesnt work for Galaxy Note 2 or Note 3. Firmwares and files are now a lot more different.

I use screen adjuster, it is free.

A weird thing I've noticed on black clipping

Hello.
I've played this video on my sadly black clipping affected device and I've noticed something really weird :
http://vimeo.com/m/16198274
Every time a bass sound pops (like a drum following the rhythm) the black clipping pattern changes. (its easier to notice this on night scenes in the corners of the video)
I don't really know if it has something to do with the black clipping problem or with the way the video was edited. What do you think?
Excuse my English, I'm Spanish

I was walking past a store and saw a Samsung tv with black clipping lol
Out device was a beta for samsung. They resolved the issue in note 2.

i still cant forget the first day i discovered it on my note ! and the saturn rings on the calculator screen :cyclops:
i cant imagine a TV with it lol
but i have a samsung pc monitor and it seems ok ....
first time i hear that its associated with sound too.....
For tell truth, I just finished to watch the video, but I didn't notice any bad clipping issue. Btw video quality was very low, but still didn't notice anything. I also decreased the brightness to lower value, but nothing changed..... Should I consider my display a good one then?

No. You must see the video in a completely dark room. Brightness screen is irrelevant.

I only see black clipping when i am in night mode. Besides that there is no black clipping even in the dark room at brightness levels given by default.
So for me it happens when i further decrease the beifhness levels.

Purple tint

Anybody got this? In low brightness some darker elements(specially gray) start become a little purplish
Also the colors seem less saturated in the default screen mode than the s3(also in standard) i thought i would be the opposite, is my screen defective or is this normal
I tried google but all i get are galaxy nexus results(purple tint)

Welcome to S4. Every galaxy S4 has this. Please refer to other threads on how to get rid of this smearing through software.

The OP doesn't mention smearing.
This is a different issue to the smearing problem.
When the brightness is on low greys become purple. I have had 4 different S4s (all had to be replaced due to screen issues) and every single one had this problem on low brightness.
IMO there is no such thing as a perfect S4 screen!
I have finally settled on my 4th replacement and this one is still not great but I'm sick of returning them.
I have a pink tint at the top of this screen and also all the sensors, LED and front camera are misaligned in the casing, All over to the left.
Samsung have REALLY failed on the Quality Control of this device.
So it seems universal, well i will have to turn off auto brightness and use brightness at 30%
Any of u guys came from the s3? Do the s4 colors seem a little less saturated to u guys? I have them both side by side and it seems so

Yes. I had s3 before and the less saturation on S4 is intentional by Samsung. According to some detailed comparison, the colors of s4 are more accurate. It seems odd at first because our eyes are used to the oversatured screen of s3.

[Q] Auto-Brightness Confusion

Can someone please explain how the auto-brightness works on this phone it seems to act a lot weirder than my galaxy nexus did. What does it mean when it talks about setting the baseline brightness and in what context? Do you use it? If so what brightness do you have it set to?
This phone has the worst auto-brightness of any device I've used.
I need to read the manual. I'm assuming the baseline is the minimum brightness, but it never seems to change when expected.
I chose to use a 3rd party app to manage it. Lux auto brightness works really well, and you can calibrate it any way you'd like.

I have mine set to 40% on auto. I found the best way to decide the minimum brightness was to set it at a comfortable level in a dark environment.
To test this, set up your minimum brightness, then point the screen (ambient light sensor) at a light source, keep your eye on the screen and it'll gradually brighten. I've found mine to work pretty well and rarely have to manually override it, but the change is a lot slower than my note 2.

Get lux lite from the play store. It works great

Comfortable in a dark room for me is about 5%, unfortunately even in the brightest of sun it seems like the phone never turns its brightness up at all when on auto like this. Anything less than 50% seems to break auto brightness for my device and that is just sad. Even when it works when set above 50%, it takes 5 seconds or so to adjust which is just terrible and the brightness seems to still act funny about how and when it decides to change. It really is the worst auto brightness ever.
Whoops!

Thanks for the recommendation guys that app seems to work sooooo much better than the stock auto brightness so far. The stock auto-brightness is garbage on this phone. Seems like the stock setting either doesn't get bright enough or doesn't get dark enough.
I don't agree, either I have a working phone or others are broke, but this is the best autobright performing phone I've every used, after the hd2, galaxy nexus, note 1 and note 2. Its perfect according to the ambient light situation and is really fast acting

Has nothing to do with brightness and everything to do with cpu usage.
