Auto adjust brightness

I recently got a new laptop, the Inspiron n5110.  It works fine except that I cannot disable the auto dimming for the screen.  I have it on max brightness, and then I switch over to a darker program, and the screen slowly dims.  When I switch over to a white program, the screen slowly brightens.  This is a problem at night when I want to have a uniform brightness with both white and black pages, as I am constantly switching between the two.  Is there a solution to this?

I have already tried to set the power options to max performance, changed the "Adaptave brightness" feature to off, I made everything max performance in the dell graphics program too.  Nothing is working for me.

No, unfortionatly that didn't work. It doesn't take a few minutes for the screen to dim, it just slowly fades as soon as I switch from white/dark or dark/white.  It is as if someone is tapping the brightness buttons.  There has to be a setting for this.

Glassier,

 

That sounds fast. I would Contact Dell Technical Support since the computer is under warranty.

mainstay_moiz,

 

Advanced power settings, turn off adaptive brightness has seemed to fix the brightness issue.
