On my old phone I wrote an app to write screen brightness values directly to the underlying Linux device. It bottomed out at either 3 or 5, which was still way below what the normal brightness slider allowed but it seems there’s a hardcoded non-zero lower limit.
I guess they can. I can with my current laptop but im sure I have had some that won’t go below a certain low leve but could do it with mine. Im not sure modern ones would keep the setting on restart of the pc or screen though. With the old crts they would stay blank until you moved the little dial that a lot of people were unaware of.
I just thought of something hella funny to do but not sure if it’s even possible…
Can you have a .BAT file run at start? If so, Imma make one that executes the shutdown command then have it run at boot on my sister’s machine. 😈
crt brightness could be brought down to zero back in the day.
Can that not be done with LCDs and OLEDs? Turn off the backlighting at least?

Whoever hardcoded that probably was a victim of the prank one time too often. 😔

You can run anything you want in startup, go to run and type
shell:startupand put the batch in the folder that pops upAn oldie but goodie. enjoy the giggles
ofc, it works just like how you expect it to
