dynamic contrast settings

My laptop is a y560 model; I got it about a week ago. I know that the monitor settings and whatnot have this 'dynamic contrast' thing going on, which apparently makes the screen dim/brighten whenever it deems the time to do it, DESPITE whatever power settings you have that say to not dim the screen, ever. I'm sure there are people out there who really enjoy this setting, but it's frankly one of the most annoying things that I have ever experienced. 

 

I've looked over the manual and looked over internet searches and a bit through the controls that I can easily find, and I am still unable to figure out how to turn this 'dynamic contrast' off, permanently. I don't want it to happen anymore. I'm all for setting the screen to dim during certain POWER situations, but having it just randomly start to dim while I'm in the middle of reading/typing/watching something is rather, rather annoying. 

 

How do I get to the settings that will turn this feature off? And once there, how do I turn it off?

Re: dynamic contrast settings

That might've been it actually, especially since covering the camera may have confused an option like that.

 

Thanks a bunch!
