brightness when connecting an external monitor

hi guys,

when i connect my hdtv to my macbook the brightness on my macbooks screens goes to full. if i turn it down, then unplug the external screen, it also goes back to full. is there any way to stop this? as i have brightness set on low normally.

thanks

the thing is it'll go to full brightness as soon as the external display is plugged in or unplugged.

ok, well 1) it won't turn off the display on the macbook (it just changes the resolution of the external monitor) and 2) when it changes it goes up to full brightness again.
