    ok my screen thinks its a blast to go from dark to light as i scroll up and down web pages and watch movies and what not..
    it will stay at one level as long as i dont scroll.. but if i do it ether gets brighter or darker..

    any one had this happen to em before?

    Check your Windows power profile to verify that adaptive display brightness is set to disabled. That might fix this problem for you.
