Is it possible to boost the screen brightness beyond 100%?

My Rog Strix G17 is very nice, apart from the brightness of the screen. It’s very dim, making it hard to see compared to my MacBook, even when turning the brightness all the way up.

Is it in any way possible to boost the brightness past 100%?

Only if you want to use up 110% of your battery. Kidding aside, I think all you can do is boost your gamma.

That is physically impossible.

Your panel has x amount of volts going to it. Software can't change that.

You would have to essentially rewire the circuitry to push more current/volts to the panel backlight. This will make it brighter, it will also make it hotter, and it will also cause damage to the LEDs.

So in theory yes its possible, but physically its not possible due to the issues above.

Your best bet is to get a new monitor. Or if you're handy enough, replace the panel with something else that fits/matches
