@vanvugt "If we could reproduce this reliably in development (...)". I
tested it many times here and it is absolutely constant, regular,
persistent, stable.

- Monitor's internal settings > "Auto Input Switch" = on : This bug always 
shows, in every conditions.
- Monitor's internal settings > "Auto Input Switch" = off : This bug never 
shows, in every conditions.

"every conditions" means:
Ubuntu settings > screen power saving > screen blank -or- Ctrl+L -or- "sleep 1; 
xset DPMS force off"

And "screen blank" = "Turn the screen off after a period..." It is
written right there, in those settings.

Here I have DisplayPort (DP) on my computer with an adapter to plug into an 
HDMI display.
on Ubuntu 24.04.1

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  On some machines when the screen blanks, the LCD backlight stays on.

  [ Workarounds (reported to work by some people) ]

  * Configure the monitor (in its own menus) to not auto-switch inputs.
  * Change from HDMI to DisplayPort cables.
  * Disable HDMI audio output.

  [ Test Plan ]

  0. Make sure you're using an LCD (not OLED) so you can see if the backlight 
is on.
  1. In Settings -> Power -> Screen Blank, set the inactivity period to 1 
minute.
  2. Verify after 1 minute that the screen is blank and the backlight is also 
visibly off.
