Steps to Adjust Brightness on LG TV

Your LG TV’s brightness levels depend on the picture settings and options you have enabled. To adjust the brightness of your LG TV, follow these steps using the remote control.

Change Picture Mode

A Picture Mode on your LG TV shapes how your video should look and automatically changes the background picture settings. There are more than six picture modes on LG TV, and you can choose any to adjust the brightness. To learn the difference between each picture mode, see the listing below.

Note: If you don’t know the steps to access Picture Mode, tap Settings on the LG TV remote → All Settings → Picture → Picture Mode settings.

How to Adjust Brightness Levels on LG TV Without Remote

The method discussed above only involves adjusting the brightness levels on an LG TV using a remote. However, if you have misplaced or lost the remote, you can try these ways to adjust the brightness on an LG TV without a remote.

Control Brightness Using TV Physical Buttons

If your LG TV has multiple buttons like Power, Menu, Volume, and Channel, you can use them to change the brightness levels. You can find those buttons on the side or at the back of the TV. Once you find the button placement, turn on your TV using the Power button. Then, press the Menu button and access the Picture Settings menu using the Volume and Channel buttons for navigation.

Use the LG ThinQ App

If you don’t have a remote control, you can use the LG Thinq app to control and adjust the brightness of your TV. This app is available for both iPhone and Android users. Once you connect your phone and LG TV to the same Wi-Fi, you can use the ThinQ app to navigate to Picture Settings on LG TV and change the brightness.

Use the IR Remote App

If the WiFi connection is unstable, you cannot use the LG ThinQ app to modify your LG TV’s brightness. Alternatively, you can use the IR remote app to adjust the brightness. These IR remote apps do not need WiFi to control the TV. Once you install the app, you can directly control your TV by pointing your phone towards the TV sensor. Then, go to Picture Settings and adjust your TV’s brightness.

Use a Keyboard or Mouse

In addition to the remote apps and physical buttons, you can adjust the TV brightness using a keyboard or mouse. Plug the dongle into the USB port on your LG TV. Once the mouse cursor appears, use it to access the picture settings and modify the brightness levels to your liking.
