    Surface Tweak Tool for Surface Pro 2 - Release!

    Bummer on all counts lol...but thanks for the extra info (did not know win10 still force installs and also did not know reg settings changed on each update). If I was a rich man I'd send you an SP3! I can't calibrate my monitor until I get that setting turned off (it does some funky things to it...

    Surface Tweak Tool for Surface Pro 2 - Release!

    Hey Goodbytes! Just wondering since all of the changes with WIN10, if it is possible to post the registry keys and the changed values to turn the adaptive contrast setting on/off. I THINK after doing the update to Win10, the setting is still off (display looks good) but I am going to clean...

    Problem with Black Level Contrasts

    You can do a couple things to fix this. The issue is with the Dynamic Contrast, aka Display Power Setting Technology. Click on the link in Goodbytes signature listed above and install his Surface Tweak tool. Then turn off the setting next to 'Dynamically adjust contrast'... Install Intel's...

    attempted to buy at retailer - bad experience

    When I went to get mine at BB, there was the same issue with the display models. They seemed unresponsive at times - not a great way to show off a product. Thankfully, mine has never acted like the models at the store. My rep was the opposite though - excited about the Surface products. Didn't...

    Use as an alarm clock

    If taking a nap under four hours it'll work regardless; but if going to sleep for longer than that then just plug it in. Not sure that I see the issue. If you are going to sleep for a long time, you probably want it plugged in anyway just to make sure the battery doesn't go dead. Maybe I am...

    SP3 display: poor black levels, and possible fix

    Yay! Congrats guys :) And yeah mine stays off too if I try to turn it back on... thought reboots would do it but looks like you tried that already. But I want to keep it off anyways (just fun to compare before/after) so I'm fine with that. Enjoy the black!

    SP3 display: poor black levels, and possible fix

    Did you try and run Intel's .exe or the unzipped file? I haven't done it but others stated you have to load the unzipped file in device manager... see this post: http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/graphics-control-panel-colour-management.9947/#post-71285. (choosing correct version based off of...

    SP3 display: poor black levels, and possible fix

    Well the only setting I changed was the top one... and it needs to be in off position. Is this what you are doing? I assume so but just making sure.

    SP3 display: poor black levels, and possible fix

    Only 3 ways I know of are: The Tweak tool (the setting is supposed to be off but I think I had to reboot to see the effect...don't remember exactly; not sure why you are not seeing it but try a reboot or try a couple times and reboot each time to see if it sticks) Edit the registry (see a...

    SP3 display: poor black levels, and possible fix

    I think since you installed the Intel driver, you can find a setting called Display Power Saving and turn it off (probably on by default for battery settings and off for plugged in settings... but I never loaded the Intel driver so not sure what is exactly in the control panel). Here are some...

    SP3 display: poor black levels, and possible fix

    I also used Goodbyte's tweak tool, but I used it to turn off the dynamic contrast so I could get a good hardware color calibration. One thing I noticed is that if I turned it back on and rebooted, it was still in the off setting. You may be having the same issue which may be why you did not see...

    slow wifi using back button?

    I do have the Easylist and Easyprivacy tracking lists activated and turned on already. I did do some quick searching and there was one comment in a thread that stated some banner ads will force a refresh no matter what your history settings are set to. Not sure how true that is. But either way I...

    slow wifi using back button?

    I get the second or so delay also (MUI IE only)... and I did try jnjroach's method above of not looking for new page updates and still get same delay. But to recreate the BIG delay (haven't counted in seconds but seems more than 10 seconds at least), I scroll forward or back and while the...

    disable Intel Graphics Adaptive Contrast Enhancement

    Search for user Goodbytes "Surface Tweak Tool" - it's the option that I went with due to simplicity. Or you may want to PM him to see which registry or driver setting he is directly changing with his tool. I was searching to do the same thing and the other options were downloading the latest...

    Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Has One of the Best Displays Yet

    Just giving some pointers on calibrating the SP3 (I am not an expert and you may not have to do any of what I had to do to get proper results). I did my calibration with the i1 Display Pro, but I also have a Spyder4 Express. My display had just a little too much green before calibration - and I...
