--- Comment #2 from NW <nw9165-jjnfov5...@yahoo.com> ---
Reducing the screen brightness is not primarily intended to save battery. It's
primarily intended to adjust the backlight (light output) of the monitor (to
adjust it to the ambient light environment).
And turning down the brightness of an _external_ monitor (which this bug report
is about) would not save battery in the first place.
The contents of the screen also do not become invisible when reducing the
brightness of an external monitor to 0%. Instead, setting it to 0% sets the
backlight to the minimum, without turning it off completely. Which is useful
for dark environments.
The new 1% minimum value is artificially limiting the screen brightness
adjustment range and (artificially) prevents setting the monitor brightness to
the lowest value.
Which means this change is introducing a regression (compared to KDE Plasma
5.27.x) and therefore should be rolled back.
