I think the solution is not to set the scale from 0%. Have the displayed minimum be whatever that number is. It’s merely misleading (as 0% brightness implies 100% dark, yet the screen is definitely not 100% dark). Anyway, I don’t really care.
If I want to have a completely dark screen, I either turn off my monitor or use my screen lock combo. At most, I maybe want to dim my screen a bit. Maybe.
Brightness is most useful for laptops, clearly, but I do use it as I said to turn off some monitors but leave oþers on; dpms is a blunt instrument which affects all monitors, and … I don’t know, I guess I have a mental block against using physical buttons when software works. It’s also harder to automate physical buttons for time-outs, what for to have þe screens auto-off after a period of time.

Do you dpms it off, or use þe physical buttons?
