Thus wrote Brown, Len:

Last time I checked it was about 6 W for my 15" display (100% brightness,
power consumption goes down linearly).

What I consider more important, is the ability to switch the LCD on / off
by demand -- unfortunately, DPMS is mostly unsupported on modern machines
and a generic approach (provided it works) could make a difference here.

Once I update the acpi4asus driver, I'll take a look on how those generic
methods to manipulate video work here and see where it gets me.

Best regards,
