Sure Andrew! So far that is my experience too. Problem is, a light sleeper in the house is still being disturbed even by a black screen with one single item floating in the screen saver module. On the G3 I have 3 monitors all with controls on the front of them to just darken up when the lights all go out. The iMac doesn't do that... unfortunately. So, I need a way to get it to In addition, the brightness...even with using dark colors for my preferences makes for sore eyes in fairly short order when using the machine in a totally dark room. In fact, even as I sit here typing on one machine with the iMac beside ... its single screen has almost as much light disturbance to the room than all three (17"+19"+17") monitors right beside it combined. So that's why I'm searching so much. Thanks for the response.
