A: Thank you for reaching lout. The 15-dy2005tg laptop has a Brightview display of 220 nits - that should be fairly vibrant. Please check your settings to be certain you have the brightness at 100% (you can also use the function keys). Note that if you are using on power saving, the screen will dim slightly when used with battery power only. This can also be changed in settings, but increasing the screen brightness on battery power only will reduce the battery life.
