Bug ID: 501340
Summary: Setting the screen brightness to "0" using brightness
keys still keeps on the display brightness at the
minimal brightness (kinda low light)
Classification: Plasma
Product: KScreen
Version: 6.3.2
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: kscreen-bugs-n...@kde.org

SUMMARY
Setting the screen brightness to "0" still keeps on the display brightness at
the minimal brightness (kinda low light).
In Plasma 5, setting the screen brightness to zero (0) completely turns off the
display backlight. However, in Plasma 6.0 and above (right now I'm on 6.3.2),
even at zero brightness, the backlight remains visible at its minimum level. I
hope you guys bring back the previous behavior in future updates.However, there
is a workaround, I use a shortcut key to turn off the screen completely
whenever needed. But this is quite annoying because when I increase the screen
brightness, it restores the previous brightness level instead of starting from
zero. I prefer it to increase from 0 to 1, 2, and so on, just like in Plasma 5.
Please bring back the behaviour of screen brightness from plasma 5 which
completely turns off the backlight of the display. Plasma 6 is really great but
this one spoils my user experience. For this issue I had to move to kubuntu
24.04 LTS which runs on plasma 5.27.12 but I'm badly missing the plasma 6
features.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Turn off/low (-) the screen brightness using brightness key from the laptop to
0%
OBSERVED RESULT
Display/Screen brightness still visible at 0% (kinda low light)
EXPECTED RESULT
Display/Screen brightness must be turned off completely at 0% (like a shutdown
computer) which is working fine in plasma 5.27.XX but not after plasma 6.
