Increase brightness in AMPS

READONLY24

Hello,

is it possible to increase the maximum brightness if the Montana 7xx is in the external powered AMPS, or is this already the limit of the display hardware?

    Clicked on your name in this thread. . Can not locate the PM for you. Same issue. Had Montana 600 series and it was good.

    Either click the name, then the Connect button in the upper right corner of the resulting profile OR hover over the name above, then click Send a private message in the resulting pop-up.

    Please add me to the ticket.  I have a 700i and need to go back to my 600 and it is unusable on an offroad vehicle.

    Thanks

    Thank you to everyone who reached out about the request for more brightness while the Montana 7xx is in a powered mount. Unfortunately, this is a hardware limitation and it's not possible to increase the brightness beyond its current maximum. I confirmed that the Montana 7xx devices are able to use 100% screen brightness while in a powered mount, but that's as bright as it will go.

    The only time the backlight is intentionally decreased is when connected to USB power (not in a mount) to save the battery.

    We will continue to log user feedback related to the Montana screen brightness, so please feel free to send me a PM with a link to this post and I will add you to the ticket.
