Al iMac screen dims slightly before screensaver kicks in

[Morod]

Hi all,
I want to stop it. I know that, somewhere, there's a checkbox to either have this happen or not. I've come across it plenty of times. It's just started bugging me and so I want to make it stop. I've checked all over system preferences and cannot find that danged checkbox! Can anyone help me preserve what little sanity I have and point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Morod

Thank you!

Thanks to you both for the quick responses! I swear I checked energy saver sys prefs, but I sure didn't see it until you pointed me there. Sorry for the trouble, but a heartfelt thanks!
