UE46D6750 - brightness issue and samygo question

[J2J]

Hello everyone! My TV model is UE46D6750WS and I have a couple of questions.
First off, there seems to be a problem that annoyed me for so long - TV adjusts brightness on the fly depending on overall brightness of the picture it is supposed to display. No matter if its TV or movie files from usb drive. Seems like I am stuck with this "feature" because I could not find any setting that would limit this "dimming" or disable it. It is really annoying

Another thing I would like to ask you about is SamyGo. Soon I'll be getting a CI module from my cable tv provider and I would like to record programs on external drive. The thing is - I don't want my recordings to be encrypted (scrambled). I know that with SamyGo I can switch it off but I am not sure. Tech info provided by samygo wiki is excessive for me and I do not know if I am skilled enogh to manage such an operation like interfering with my TVs software. Fankly I do not even know if it is possible on UE46D6750WS

Last thing - what hdd drive should I use? Are usb powered 2,5 inch external drives sufficient? Or should I get a desktop standard 7200 RPM 3,5inch drive with external power supply?

Sorry if this goes in bad section and please excuse my english, it's not my native language.

Because of brightness issue: I guess you don`t need answers like " i don`t know" ? No?

and yes, with SamyGO you can disable PVR scrambling. Check D series Software subforum.

I would recommend you to spend some time for self-informing about SamyGO if you really need to get something extra from your TV. Or find someone who could help you, because you really can damage your TV. If you`re scared and you think you don`t have required skills, then better don`t touch your TV and ignore info you see on this forum/wiki.

Thanks for answer, even if nobody knows Well, I suspect that brightness thing is that famous Microdimming feature. No option to disable it in standard menu and there was nothing remotely similar in service menu.

I found the following info:

Samsung?s TVs equipped with Micro Dimming are also equipped with CE Dimming. CE Dimming does dim the LEDs of the panel, but not locally. It dims the whole panel on darker scene. Some people do not like it, because you can actually see the whole screen dims sometimes, like in the end credits of a movie. There is no option to turn CE Dimming off, even in the service menu.

And what about HDD for PVR? What kind od drive should I use?
