Quoted from Magicchiz:

So I haven't looked, but is there a setting in the menu to the dimming in the game? My TOM came with led already and im wondering if they had just turned this function off? I am getting one of these boards.
Point me to the setting so I know where to change them.
Thanks
John

John,

Most people who put LEDs in their games turn off "Dim Illumination" and "GI Power Saver" to avoid flickering and strobing. These can be re-enabled in the menu if you would like. You will find them under "Standard Adjustments" (options 25 and 29). You may find that the dimming effects look good even with LEDs installed. It really depends on the game and what LEDs were used. I can't see any logical reason to enable the power save mode if you are using LEDs, though. It was designed to prolong the life of incandescent bulbs, but this obviously isn't relevant when using LEDs.
