I want my Switch to stop changing the screen brightness. Help?

Device:
Same issue on mine, might also be a defect. I've been researching it online and it seems most of the preview/review units auto brightness sensors work just fine. I've tried covering it, going into a completely dark room then a very well lit one and nothing. I'm going to wait a while before I determine to replace my unit because mine does not seem to have any Joy Con connection issues...kinda bummer.
Answer(s):
Press and hold Home, and a black box will slide in from the right with a couple of options for you. Dead center of those options is brightness, which is a slider you can adjust to your needs. Slide to the right to make the screen brighter, and left to make the screen darker. You can also control whether you have auto-brightness on at all from this screen. The simple toggle for On and Off means you can quickly disable the feature if you're in a room with rapidly changing light
