a very nice feature of my MSI Mag 32" QD-OLED monitor is it has these burnin-protection features, and the one that does this thing where you can't see anything happen that it forces you to do every 24 hours of operation or so is annoying
but it has features that recognise static displays and dims everything, dims taskbars, dims the edges of letterboxes of video playback as this can cause burnin also
the dim everything is super cool tho... because somehow DP and HDMI don't have backlight control protocols in them like they do on laptop and tablet/phone display panel interfaces, in 2024... the monitor has a whole processor dedicated to managing this shit automatically
wild, and retarded
also the other thing that really grinds my gears is that somehow video card drivers don't seem to have working power management settings properly, it's a crapshoot whether or not locking display blanking actually will put the display into standby mode, for which reason i've shifted all the display power cables onto one multi-socket adapter with a hard switch on it so i can just shut them all off when i go outside and not come back and see "oh it didn't put them on standby" when i get back
so many obvious things that should have been standard by now that aren't
people really don't realise how actually not advanced our computer tech is yet, really, this is such elementary, important features for power management but nope
