This has gotten a major tweak with a 2.x BIOS update, and it's a lot better now (IMHO). It's still there, but barely noticeable.
Also, now the minimum brightness setting is now super low, which is kind of refreshing actually.
Personally I like it, but I can see how some might not.
- Tharre 9y agoThat's odd, do you per chance remember which update exactly? The CABC is implemented in the Novatek display driver IC, which the BIOS never touches. Dell provides a utility for Windows for flashing it on supported systems (QHD or the similar Latitude 7370) from Novatek for precisely that reason. Though the brightness settings might make a difference.
- antongribok 9y agoI do not, which is why I deliberately said "2.x". I think it was either 2.1.x or 2.2.x, but not certain. I'm not sure why you would think the BIOS update package would not touch it. It certainly touches the USB-C and the TPM modules. It was around the end of this past summer when that update came out. Along with a different brightness curve, it bumped up the battery life as well. I've heard of the Windows utility for disabling this, but I thought it could be used on the FHD model as well. It didn't bug me enough to bother with Windows.
