EDIT: (for MacOS) theres Luna or BetterDisplay, they can basically do what I was asking about (making displays and external displays as dark/black as digitally possible. Lots of other cool features but that much i know
Not sure if its a neurodivergent thing but I often want to “turn off” or completely darken the monitor without actually pulling the power.
catch { dont want to just do sound and the tv is left to its boilerplate/ad-dled idle nonsense }
I like how on certain devices if you have low power mode on and you AirPlay, it goes completely dark after a moment, I’d like to something like that but for computer. Sort of like a non-screensaver screensaver that doest lock or anything but lets me recreate when TVs used to let you turn of the display


I, too would like to know how to do this. I’m running Linux mint on an old Dell latitude laptop
