Hello, I've been noticing this weird issue since day one with my device. The screen will dim and brighten itself periodically through use. I have only noticed it while using amazon instant video, a few games, and occasionally netflix. I have not noticed any dimming/brightening while watching Kodi. My aftv2 is currently rooted, but I have noticed this since originally setting it up on stock, and all the way through 5.0-5.05 or whatever the current version is.

It basically looks like the screen dims itself a little bit or brightens back up and it is really annoying (at least to me, not sure the wife even notices). When it happens, it looks like when a phone dims itself automatically from a sensor. I have not seen anybody else mention this issue, and I am fairly certain I'm not insane (or at least not because of this).

FWIW, I am using fairly new LED samsung "smart" tv and the input i'm using for the aftv2 was previously used by a nexus player that i have since gotten rid of and never had any dimming issues with. I have had all sorts of other devices used on this tv's from pc's, gaming consoles, receivers, etc with no issue.

any ideas?
