Tip: On Ubuntu the display powersave only blanks, but does not turn off. On some machines when the screen blanks, the LCD backlight stays on. Workarounds that may work include
- Configure the monitor (in its own menus) to not auto-switch inputs.
- Change from HDMI to DisplayPort cables.
- Disable HDMI audio output.
Test Plan
- Make sure you’re using an LCD (not OLED) so you can see if the backlight is on.
- In Settings -> Power -> Screen Blank, set the inactivity period to 1 minute.
- Verify after 1 minute that the screen is blank and the backlight is also visibly off.
