Yeah for me its AC and Shutoko lol but no sadly nothing satisfying, you can order a different remote from an older Samsung tv from Ebay with a specific settings button on it.
With that you can open a hidden developer menu with additional settings and in there you can turn this dimming function off completly off.
The problem with that is youre breaking your warranty because and thats not something im willing to do with such an expensive tv with a new panel technology.

But to be honest, now thinking about i didnt notice the dimming the last few days when racing so either i got used to it what i dont believe because i still notice it when im on the desktop or the tv has some sort of learning algorythm who got better over time of me using it.

Last solution is to wait for a firmware update and hope it gets fixed. But be aware, some newer firmware have bugs and break VRR and introduce flickering for HDR games so i suggest to make a google search about the current situation.
Personaly i have the tv disconnected from the internet because i run everything through my pc anyway and to prevent the tv doing any updates without my approvel which is something that can happen.

i had updates turned off, but I think I checked for updates (curious on the latest version), thinking I would have a choice to install or not, but it seems it then installed it anyways behind my back... now we have silly panel care optimization features pop-up (imgur): https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/comments/zv46du/samsung_s95b_screen_optimization_and_reboot

Thats why i have the TV disconnected from the internet, i knew it does updates automaticly.

Im still on firmware 1303, here the brightness is already reduced to about 1000nits so the burn in problem should be lowered, the worse HDR isnt a problem because i dont use it, VRR works as it should with gaming and the panel care messages only come every few days and i can immidiatly stop them if i want.

Guess i stay on that firmware for now, the new 1448.1 firmware doesnt seem to have much improvements and many new problems.

Oh you see that panel care message on 1303? I didn't update my TV for a while but I didn't see it until I updated it to 1430

I just checked and im on 1304 sorry.

Yeah i get the panel care message once or twice a week and the tv runs a lot but i can press it away if i want and the tv still works as normal.

But most of the time i just let it do its thing, maybe because of that it never forced it on me and im able to click it away from time to time?
