Technical Note: Dell XPS 9370 dynamic brightness control
Recently while using Windows Pro 10, I notice that my XPS 9370 adapts its screen brightness according to contents displayed on it. When I view websites with bright color theme, XPS 9370 screen will display the website's content with its maximum brightness. However, when I view websites using dark color theme, my dell laptop screen will automatically lower its brightness accordingly. This adaptation is good because lowering display brightness helps reduce power consumption, as well as make our eyes comfortable. However, my Dell laptop often reacts too much to minor changes of contents' brightness. A huge recognizable brightness often happens even when there are minor changes to color themes. The problem turns worse when brightness incurs latency. I switch between windows of multiple applications often enough to find the brightness adaption and its latency annoying. I decided to turn off this feature. It turns out to be quite difficult to find a place to turn off this feature
