Dell XPS 15 (L501X) Display problem

Ok I bought this laptop a month ago with I5-480 processor.



I am having this weird problem.



On battery mode when I move from dark(black) background web page to bright(white) background web page the display looks dull and it will take few seconds to come to normal.



Is this some sort of power saving feature?



On adapter mode it works fine.



I had contacted the dell chat support, after running some diagnostics and they sent me a new battery with even the same problem I am facing.



Had anyone faced this problem earlier???

I have the same "problem" with a L502x. =/

There have been some comments about an auto-brightness feature, in the power save profile, whereby the screen/backlight dims and brightens based on what's being displayed. Could be that.



I've not seen it myself, but, to quote:



"

There was an annoying "feature", however, with dynamic contrast - screen would randomly dim and brighten as it pleased. To disable this I had to go into Intel (integrated video) control panel and set the "power saving technology" to the "maximum performance" slider underneath the "battery tab." The issue had previously persisted even when I wasn't on battery.

"



Wrorth trying that?

That works.



I should have posted here before contacting the support I guess.

Good that it's fixed. Did you get to keep both batteries?

No.

That would be good if they allow me to keep :P

I have to send back the old one.
