Adjusting display brightness

The HP Z1 Workstation uses two methods to control the display brightness.

The backlight brightness settings control the overall brightness of the internal display panel only.

The pixel color brightness settings control the individual pixel color intensity for the internal display panel and an external monitor. Changing the pixel color brightness will affect the color of the pixels and will affect the colors of your display.
