d5100 monitor

I have just bought a D5100, and am finding my way around quite well, however, I would like the monitor light to stay on longer, but am unable to find any setting for it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Phil

Just tied to find it again and belive it or not have not been able to. I will keep looking and let you know when if I find it again sorry

Just found it Here goes!! Menu-Custom Setting Menu- Auto off Timers-You can then chose Short, Norm, Long. Or go to "Custom" you can set all the timers for Monitor, etc off to a range of times. I just found that while I was trying to find my way around I needed the Monitor on for longer. I have since reset the camera to factory default setting hope this helps
