Between the various sales, discounts and all around good word-of-mouth, the Dell Venue 8 Pro, featuring Windows 8 (x86) on an 8-inch tablet, has become a mini-hit this holiday season. In fact, we wouldn?t be surprised if many aren?t given out as Christmas gifts in two days.
One complaint about the otherwise stellar device is the ambient light sensor. Out of the box, the brightness on the Dell is very dim. That?s surprising if only because throwing it into manual control (instead of the default auto adjust), you?re treated to a very bright display?easily the brightest of the all the 8-inch Windows tablets on the market. The reason it?s so dim? To preserve battery life and rake up that 10 hour rating. Unfortunately, Dell?s settings are too aggressive.
Luckily, they seem to be listening. A new patch came out a few days ago, featuring new ambient light sensor settings, which will optimize them for better performance. The update is just 2 MB and it will only take you a few moments to install.
