Screen brightness issues?

[dupont2005]

I use my iPad a lot at night and almost exclusively indoors so I set the brightness pretty low. I have noticed while surfing the past few days that the brightness is not consistent and sometimes out of nowhere the screen just brightens up. Has anyone else experienced this? I have not noticed it before but it may have been happening all along.

Have you turned off the auto brightness setting? If not, the iPad will adjust the backlight depending on the ambient light levels.

That's probably what's happening. I didn't know this thing could detect ambient light. Learn something new every day with this device. I'm still being impressed by it.
