ambient light sensor

[aoaaron]

hey the light sensor if i tild my screen 90 degrees makes the screen pretty dark. 2011 MBP 15''..

any fixes other than tilting the screen futher back? i'm in quite a bit of natural light...

System Preferences > Displays, under the "Display" tab, uncheck "Automatically adjust brightness...", and set it to your desired level.

You can always fight the ambient light sensor with the brightness control keys (F1 and F2) on your MBP if that's easier.
