Area-51m R1, how do you get rid of the dim?
I have the 2019 version of the Alienware Area-51m R1 laptop. Every time I try to read something that takes more than a minute, the screen starts to dim. How do you get rid of this in the settings? Does anyone know?

It’s the Tobii eye tracking software. If you disable it before you uncheck the option to dim the screen when you are not paying attention to it, the software continues to dim the screen (even if you have the Tobii experience turned off).
Hig your windows key and type in “Tobii” and see what comes up. You need to open the “Tobii Experience” (or something like that—just look for the Tobii Experience eye tracking software program). Once it is open, turn the eye tracking software “on” (there is a button you can toggle), then go to “Settings” (or options—can’t remember which) and look for the option to dim the screen when you look away from it. TURN THIS OPTION OFF.
When you are done with that, I recommend going back to the Tobii software home page and turning eye tracking off entirely.
then, go to your power settings and make sure that the time to dim your screen is set to something longer than a minute, and that your screen is not set to turn off until after that.
That should fix it.
