[QUOTE="v4111, post: 1493561, member: 102836"] Unfortunately the keyboard keys to dim/brighten the display will only work for the iMac. It does not dim the attached thunderbolt display. :Grimmace::Grimmace::Grimmace: :Shouting::Angry: However, you can manually adjust the brightness of the thunderbolt display by going to settings -> display (even though this isn't convenient). I did come across a tool that claims to be able to control the brightness of both monitors ([url=http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/10429/brightness-control]Download Brightness Control for Mac - Dim your monitor easily. MacUpdate.com[/url]). I haven't had a chance to try it out, but it doesn't look like it works with the keyboard. Poo on this slip of Apple's Quality Control. [/QUOTE]
