Hey everyone,

I have the new aluminum macbook and its a truly incredibly computer. However, I'd like you guys to clarify something regarding the screen, if possible, since it doesn't seem like its actually turning off.

Here is my screensaver/Energy savings setup:

Energy Saver:When plugged in...screen is set to turn off after 3 minutes
Screensaver: Activate after 5 minutes.

Well, after 3 minutes, the screen goes dark (darker than the "slight dim" a minute before the screen supposedly turns off), but I can still see everything very faintly on the screen. Also, after 5 minutes, when the screen should be off so the screensaver doesn't even activate, I can make out the screensaver on the display.

Is this normal?

Thanks everyone
