    Does anyone's screen dim itself every now and then? I don't know if it's a defect in the screen or maybe a bug in Quickset or something else, but occasionally my screen just dims a few levels. Quickset shows it still maxed out and lowering it a notch and raising it back up using the keyboard shortcuts makes it go back to normal. Studio XPS 1340 with a WLED screen.

    did you set the power settings to dim after a certain period of nonusage? this happens, then the OS somehow fails to register the automatic drop....

    I couldn't find such an option. It also doesn't happen when it's not in use, it'll happen in the middle of surfing the internet or typing a paper.
