Backlight behavior on Framework Laptop (12th Gen Intel® Core™)

July 7 2022 8:42pm

The Framework Laptop (12th Gen Intel® Core™) mainboard can automatically adjust the screen brightness and contrast based on content that’s displayed on your built-in screen. For example, if you’re watching a video that has a dark scene, followed by a brighter scene (for example, one that shows a bright sunny day), the brightness and contrast may change. This is normal. 

Content adaptive brightness control provides ideal brightness and contrast levels, while saving power and providing longer battery life at the same time. If these sudden brightness changes are distracting, or if you work in photo and video apps where color accuracy is important to you, you can turn this off any time. When you turn it off, it can result in shorter battery life. 

Instructions on how to disable this feature can be found here.
