    Hi there, i have some question about my laptop screen on GT70 Dragon Edition 2
    On the bright background of the screen automatically brightens up ..
    On a dark background screen automatically reduces brightness ..
    (I don't mean desktop background - saying background, I mean what was display at the screen.)

    Is it normal ?

    I work on Windows 8 PRO ..
    Adaptive brightness functions are disabled.

    Of course, on external monitor (HDMI), problem does not occur.

    Does the GUI changes too when brightness changes?
    There's SCM that indicates the level of brightness when you manually change it. Assuming it should do the same too if the system adjusts brightness on its own.

    Check your intel driver power settings :)

    You unchecked the brightness control option in there and it helped?

    There's also the "Adaptive Brightness" option in the advanced Windows power settings...under the display tab. On many systems, that's enabled by default and definitely could be causing the problem you're having.
