Good for the eyes: yes, good for power usage: ? #74

This addon is a blessing for my eyes as i can now set the brightness easily without playing with the monitor dumb interface (where are the good old knobs?). I would like to know if it also is good for the planet - and your electricity bill, i.e. does it cut power usage? If no, is it possible to put that as as goal?

Thanks

Hi Matt, I am really glad to know that you found Brightness Controller useful! :) As far as I understand, it does not cut power usage; and due to the feature's hardware based nature, it will be really complex and difficult.
