Changing contrast and brightness for a laptop

I have bought an acer nitro v15 for my brother and its a good device but most importantly the screen looked amazing, so we bought another one but the contrast is extremely low, and there is no way I could find for a way to change the contrast and brightness from the OS, in the color calibrations it just says to press the buttons on the display, but laptop screens don't come with buttons for that. The high contrast feature is useless for us because it changes everything to weird colors and I rely on colors for my work a lot I need a normal higher contrast.

    It is very strange if two devices that are the exact same have different screen brightness and contrast, they should be the exact same.

    1

    Right click your Start Button and open Device Manager, then expand the display adapters section.

    Please provide a screenshot of that window.

    With regards to the color calibration you were using, is that the one available in Windows that is accessible if you click your Start Button, then just type dccw and press Enter?

    this is the screen shot

    as for the color calibration yes that one I can only change the gamma which never actually make it similar to the other laptop monitor at all.

    Thank you for the screenshot, everything looks to be installed correctly.

    On your keyboard on the function keys (F1 - F12) can you change the brightness levels from one of those keys?
