Thanks for creating this. It works great on my Thinkpad Yoga X1 2G's OLED screen. However it also affects external displays (which are not OLED). Screen contents lose color but are still bright there, because the external screen's backlight is not dimmed.

Is it possible to restrict the brightness setting to only the internal screen? Or, even more awesome, use DDC/CI to signal brightness levels to external screens?

I have since found a new solution: https://gist.github.com/lalten/ce5ac0b1cc4b24a24cc44926255b871d I guess xrandr will work only under X, but hey it works :)
