Very minor but weird annoyance

Hey all, I'm suffering a weird little issue since I had to reinstall Arch a few weeks back

If I close the laptop lid and open it back up, everything works perfectly, the screen lights up everything's fine.

But gradually, and almost imperceptibly, the screens gets darker!

It's equivalent to when I turn the screen brightness down in a dark room or whatever, but it actually seems more subtle - and it's not until you realise you're squinting that it becomes clear that the brightness has gone right down to the bottom.

But like I say, it doesn't happen straight away, but over what seems maybe 60 seconds, until it reaches the darkest setting.

Any ideas what could be going on?

Re: Very minor but weird annoyance

Sounds like a screensaver is stuck in "fading to black" mode. Disable/remove your screensavers?

Or maybe power-saving
