Question

I have a issue with the auto brightness screen whenever my screen have more dark color.

As said it is the "intel display power saving technology".
I found this is troubling the screen brightness adjust continuously according to the screen color, it hurt my eyes.

I had try the advanced power option and disable Dell intelligent Display in battery mode. None of these works.

After google, i found some of the users able to disable this intel display power saving technology through "Intel Graphic and Media Control Panel".

But the problem is i using the i5-4200u with HD4400 which is using the new graphic properties` interface called "Intel HD Graphics Control Panel", there is no option to disable this function.

Old interface:

New interface:

My question is how to i disable the power saving technology? or any other way to disable the "dim effect".

Hi Daniel,

I have exactly same problem with you.

Do you have any solution yet?

you can do it. In the new power option window whose screen you have shared ,your focus is in the tab named "Plugged In", you just need to change to tab to "On Battery", there at the bottom you have the option of turning off power saving technology.
Cheers

BUMP. Still no answer or solution to this....

The battery option does make the effect go away, which means it is the correct option I want to disable.

But I also want to disable it when plugged in. And that option is not available on the plugged in tab.
