Quite Bright

As mentioned in the last post - the brightness is quite impressive on Snow Leopard when you are used to the previous setting …. one thing I was puzzled about was that when setting the brightness to the lowest level (0 dots illuminated on the little grey brightness rectangle) the screen used to go black - not any more.

This was always a bit odd - on my iMac the screen went from relatively bright to pitch black, on my MacBook the difference was less striking but still not quite what you would expect from 1 dot difference.

Now I can’t set the iMac to black any more, the lowest level feels like the third lowest level previously.

But for that I use the bottom left hot corner - “Put display to sleep”. This is also less annoying to wake up again once you forgot why the screen is dark. Btw, that never happened to me. And I didn’t reboot either.
