    My laptop's screen dims if I display anything dark


    Whenever I open a dark image, or use a program that haves a dark theme, or if I display anything dark, my laptop's screen dims, slowly becoming less and less bright...I have disabled the option "change brightness automatically when lighting changes", but it does not solve the problem, I've also tried to disable ALS "Ambient Light Sensor" in the UEFI firmware settings, but there was no such setting in there.

    :)

    Laptop dimming display on dark backgrounds

    My Acer laptop running Windows 10 has a very annoying feature: when running on battery, the LCD backlight dims gradually when displaying a dark screen and brightens gradually when displaying light screen.

    This is especially annoying when switching between my IDE (which is dark and pleasant to the eyes) and a webpage.

    I've figured out that this is happening only on battery, and no matter the display brightness, it happens unless I plug it in. I've checked if there's some setting in the Windows power settings, but nothing popped out at me (my laptop for instance doesn't have adaptive screen brightness).

    Screen auto dims when the backdrop is dark

    I have disabled adaptive brightness, as well in my Intel Graphics Control Panel I have disabled display power saving technology. However whenever the backdrop is dark, the screen still dims. I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3000 series. Even when I have the computer
    plugged in the screen dims when there is a dark backdrop.

    Laptop dimming display on dark backgrounds

    I had a very similar problem using a ThinkPad T460s and a NEC MultiSync EA273WMi monitor. Using dark themes in my IDE the screen dimmed after a few seconds.

    My problem was resolved by changing the "DV Mode" on the screen from "Dynamic" to "Standard".
