[QUOTE="Jefe3223, post: 100273"] Like with my mac, if you leave it alone for a few min, it will dim the screen; leave it a lone for longer and the screen will be completely dark; long enough and you'll see it fall asleep (but that's just my mac). I don't know if it should do it "randomly."...That's a new one on me. I'm pretty sure it shouldn't do that. As for yours, it should, as an energy saving thing, dim if not in use; however, it should brighten back up once you move the mouse (might take a second or two), but yeah. To eliminate this or just change settings to more fit your style, hit up System Preferences>Energy Saver. From there you can change what you need. I think that's all. If you have any more questions (or if you think it's not working the way it should) let us know and we'll try our best to help out some more. Right, but if the screen dims randomly (ie. while in use and not just sitting), if you have a laptop, check the power supply. It might be set up to be on an energy saver when on battery power, and if the cord is loose, then there's your reason. If it's a desktop, let me know after you mess with the energy saver preferences.
