I wonder if this is caused by uncoordinated KMS updates not relating to displaying the primary plane. I imagine some of those will wake the monitor up even though there's no image to display. And even worse; some of them will come from gnome-settings-daemon beyond the control of gnome-shell/mutter (which is fixed in GNOME 43). To mitigate this, please try disabling features that might cause such updates:
* Settings > Colour > turn OFF for all screens * Settings > Screen Display > Night Light = OFF * Software-controlled privacy screens on some models of laptop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1973467 Title: [Wayland] Backlight stays on with black screen when monitor should be sleeping Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Power -> Power Saving Options -> Screen Blank - the option states that the screen will be turned off after some period, which is what I'd expect from a sleep mode. I have a hybrid system. I have disabled the internal display and I use the external connected via HDMI (and I believe it is connected to the NVIDIA GPU). When the screen goes blank the external monitor is not turned off really. It goes blank but it is still turned on and glows, so no power is saved.
