Precision 5530 - How to disable CABC?
Sorry for posting about the Precision in the XPS forums, I couldn't find any section for the Precision and they look similar so here I am.
For those unfamiliar, the "CABC" (Content Adaptive Brightness Control) is a "feature" the automatically changes the brightness of the display depending on the content. The result is that every time I alt tab between a page with a black background and one with a white background, the display gradually becomes less bright.
I use alt tab hundreds of times a day, the brightness going up and down is driving me crazy.
Is there a way to disable it?
I haven't solved it.
Fortunately I use the laptop plugged-in to a power outlet most of the time and it seems to limit the brightness/contrast changes. But if it wasn't a company laptop I would've returned it. I'm trying to get it swapped for another brand.

Did you ever find a solution to this?
I am about to get into a legal dispute with dell about returning my 5540 as it has this "feature" and its giving me headaches- other laptops have this feature but the dell implementation seems to flicker or something which is ruining me!
