In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the auto-dimming issues in LG OLED Smart TVs. The offerings from LG have always occupied one of the top positions in the OLED TVs domain. However, as of late, users having numerous models of these TVs are concerned about one particular issue– auto-dimming. Their display keeps dimming and brightening, even when HDR is disabled. So why is this happening?
First off, let’s address the elephant in the room- it is an intended behavior and not a bug. All your pixels are working well and good and the culprit is neither hardware nor software. The reason why this is happening is due to Auto Static Brightness Limiter. For the unaware, the ASBL auto-dims the screen if it detects that the average brightness hasn’t changed in a while.
Owing to this reason, you witness these auto-dimming issues on your LG TVs. So this begs the all-important question- how to fix this issue or in other words, how to disable ASBL on your LG TV? Let’s check it out.

Moreover, some have even said that doing so might nullify the warranty. So if you are ready to take the plunge, then proceed ahead with the below steps:
