How to Fix the Haze Look on a Laptop Screen

As opposed to CRT screens, laptop screens are LCD, or liquid crystal display. Even though these offer a higher resolution and a thinner, more portable screen, they tend to create a haze effect if not adjusted correctly. This is not only annoying but it can ruin your viewing and computing experience. Fixing and minimizing the haze effect on a laptop screen is easy and requires little time.

Instructions

1. Adjust your chair so that you are on eye level with the monitor. If you are sitting too high or too low, the screen will not be clear.

2. Adjust the angle of the the laptop monitor according to the height of your chair and desk. Adjust the monitor so that it is greater than 90 degrees if your eyes sit higher than the top of the screen. Set the screen to 90 degrees or lower if your eyes sit at the center of the screen.

3. Go to the power plug icon on the bottom of the screen found on the "Start" menu. Right-click it and select "Power Options." Choose "High Performance" or the highest possible power setting. This will take more power when the power adapter is not plugged in, but the screen will be brighter.

4. Go to the "Power Options" center and on the bottom of the screen click "Personalization." Proceed to click "Display Settings." Set the screen resolution so that it is at its highest.

Tips & Warnings

• Never leave your laptop in the sun or have something hot rest on the top while it is closed. This will damage your screen and increase the haze look.
