It changes but it does it slowly, I thought mine was not working too the first couple day and was ready to exchange at the end of the month.

Besides I think auto brightness uses PWM which causes flickers at a very high refresh rate not viable to human eye but causes fatigue to the eye over extended use and the gamma changes too much.

I now just turn it off and set the brightness to my liking depending on the lighting conditions, it's easy enough with the touchscreen and fast menus.

If you adjust the brightness slider while auto brightness is turned on it will remember the level you prefer in that type of lighting condition and adjust it accordingly.

Source: I got nothing...

I found out how auto brightness works finally...

So what you want to do is go into the brightness lit room in your home and turn on auto brightness and adjust the brightness with it on to you liking.

With that setting, auto brightness then lowers the brightness according to your lighting conditions usually lower lighting (since you've already calibrated auto brightness for the brightest room in you home) to keep the brightness as close as possible to what you've set (under the highest lighting conditions) thus you'll the brightness will always seem the same under any lighting conditions.

If you move back to a highly lit room auto brightness will then kick into the maximum already set by you for those lighting conditions and nothing over that.

At first I calibrated auto brightness under very low lighting conditions and was not satisfied with the results during the daytime when it was very bright and cause lots of eye strains but now that I have set the maximum brightness with auto brightness on correctly everything seems a lot better.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
