ok john but this function (witch seems enabled by default after 4.3 update) cause to reduce the contrast between light and dark objects in display specially in dark backgrounds and also icons going to fade. (display had punchy colors and perfect contrast when optimized backlight swiching OFF) and also some color banding again in dark pictures with this function i can see. i hope u got what am i saying. please reappear this function and let us to choose more battery saving or better display with perfect contrast and punchy colors.

It's been a goddamn year, can we get closure on this issue?

The mods here think the content adaptive backlight is disabled. I had started a discussion with one of them, but i never got a reply. I am trying to find who was it, but I can't find it.

Anyone?!

They sure know how to help users here.

Ah, sorry, i forgot, this isn't a support forum, this is a place where users cry and moan to other users to no end.

All that sony does is explain what CABL is, remove the option to disable it and that's it.

Great job!
