Idle dimming issue

Same issue. Got the update, now it goes dim once it sits "idle" too long. Really annoying.

Hi Ashley,

Try this to see if it fixes your issue with dimming.

You can change dimming option in Settings. Just head to Settings > Preferences > Idle Options.

xbox one dim screen idle

Here, you can change the amount of time before the Xbox One will dim the screen, with options of 2, 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. You can also use the option on the left to disable the aforementioned idle notifications if you prefer a more private experience.

It’s generally best to power off your devices when you know you won’t be using them soon, but this option to manually trigger the Xbox One’s idle screen dimming is handy for times when you need to quickly step away but don’t want to wait on a complete power
cycle.

I mean when the screen dims when it goes into idle. When i watch a movie or tv the screen dims

Not sure if this helps or not as it is an older post...not sure there is an option to turn it off completely but:

"Go to Settings, select Preferences, and hit Idle options. Now, uncheck “Show me things when idle.” This should get rid of the idle problem.

I don't have screen dimming on my Xbox One when using Blu-ray or DVD's and I have that option unchecked as recommended."

From this thread about idle/dimming while watching discs:

.....it’s happening to me as well. It seems every time my controller goes off, Netflix dims and reduces in audio.

This has to be faulty coding involved with their idle feature. Their idle test is probably controller off lol

Would love a response for how to fix this issue as it is getting really frustring
