    Hi everyone!

    I'm a bit confused here. I'd like to have the HDMI output of my Alienware M17X R4 (which is currently linked to my LCD HD TV) to automatically dim to a percentage of my choosing after 3 minutes. It seems to be set properly in Alien Fusion, but the options are greyed out. You can still change them, but they don't seem to do anything! So, I'm a bit stumped here.

    Any ideas how I can accomplish this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Best,

    Fluent
