How to Increase and Decrease Brightness on Roku TV With Ambient Light Sensor
Roku TV comes with a feature known as Ambient Light Sensor.
This feature automatically increases and decreases your screen brightness based on the lighting of your environment (ambient light).
For instance, if your room is very bright, the sensor will detect that and increase the screen brightness so you can have a great viewing experience.
If this feature sounds ideal for you, you can turn it on. Here’s how to enable the ambient light setting.
- Press the “Home” button on the remote control and go to Settings
- Choose TV Picture Settings > TV Brightness
- Switch ON the “Local Contrast”
- Select Auto and Press Ok
What to Do If You Roku TV Brightness Keeps Increasing or Decreasing on Its Own
If your Roku TV brightness keeps going up or down on its own, even when you haven’t enabled the ambient light sensor, the fault is from your TV.
Most modern smart TVs come with a feature known as Auto Dimming.
The Auto Dimming feature works just like the Ambient Light feature of your Roku TV.
It automatically increases or dims your TV brightness based on the ambient light. You can learn more in our article about Samsung TV Auto Dimming or LG TV auto-dimming.
So if your TV brightness keeps going down automatically, check if your TV has this feature.
You can check your TV’s user manual or manufacturer’s website to see if it has auto-dimming and how to turn it off.
If you’ve tried all the steps above and it’s not working, but Roku TV brightness isn’t functioning well, your Roku TV and Smart TV might be due for an update.
