If the brightness level on your Samsung TV is low or high, you can adjust it by visiting the expert settings. What if the remote stops working due to weak batteries? In such cases, you can adjust the brightness by using the physical buttons, remote apps, and voice commands. In this article, we have explained all the possible ways to change the brightness levels on your Samsung TV without a remote.
Use Physical Buttons to Change the Brightness on the Samsung TV
As we all know, Samsung TVs mandatorily come with a physical button. On some Samsung TVs, there will be a control stick at the back of the TV. On some Samsung TVs, the TV controller will be located in the bottom center of the panel, just beneath the logo. You can access the TV menu by pressing the Center button. Then, you can navigate to Settings to change the brightness of your Samsung TV.
1. Bring up the Settings menu on your Samsung TV using the physical buttons.
2. Select the Picture option and scroll down to Expert Settings.
3. Tap the Brightness option and adjust the brightness according to your need using the physical buttons. You can also control the Contrast, Sharpness, Color, and Tint (G/R).
If your Samsung TV has only one Power button, then you cannot use it to adjust the brightness. In that case, try the next step.
Change the Brightness on Samsung TV Using Remote Apps
Using the Samsung TV’s dedicated SmartThings remote app, you can easily change the brightness. Just install the SmartThings app from the Play Store on your Android phone. If you use an iPhone, get the SmartThings app from the App Store.
After you install the app, you need to pair your TV with the app. To do so, your Samsung TV and mobile should be linked to the same WiFi connection. Once paired, use the remote interface to open Settings on your Samsung TV. Then, adjust the brightness on your Samsung TV using the Expert Settings option.
You can also use the IR remote apps to change the brightness on your Samsung TV. These IR remote apps work by emitting infrared signals, so WiFi is not required. So, you must have an Android phone with a built-in IR blaster. Some of the best IR remote apps to control your Samsung TV are as follows.
After the installation, run the app and select a remote to get a remote interface. Further, navigate to your Samsung TV settings and adjust the brightness.
Adjust Brightness on Samsung TV Using Voice Commands
You can increase or reduce the brightness of your Samsung TV using Voice commands if your Samsung TV has the Bixby or Alexa feature. If you are using Bixby as your voice assistant, open the SmartThings remote app and press the Mic button. Then, change the brightness on your TV by saying a command, “Set the brightness to 50%.”
To use Alexa, go to the Voice option from Settings and set the default voice assistant to Alexa. If you are using Alexa for the first time, refer to the Samsung support page to set up Alexa on your TV. Once you set up Alexa on your TV, press the Mic button on the remote app and command, “Alexa, set the brightness to 40%.”
Use a Wireless Keyboard to Adjust the Brightness on Samsung TV
If you have a wireless keyboard, you can easily change the brightness on your Samsung TV by navigating to Settings. Insert the USB dongle of your wireless keyboard into the USB port of your Samsung TV. Then, turn your Samsung TV on. Once the home page appears, use the navigation keys on your keyboard to access the Settings menu. Then, go to the Picture option and adjust the brightness on your Samsung TV according to your needs.
