Rather, Raspberry Pi (at least on Raspbian) automatically dims the brightness and does screen blanking instead of fully turning off the display. One thing that I noticed when I first installed Raspbian was that Raspberry Pi does not by default comes with a "turn off monitor after a certain idle time" option.
