Well maybe Iris decreases the power usage a bit but it’s less than if you lower it from the monitor buttons

The whole point of the PWM aside from headaches and eye pain is to make your monitor more energy efficient so it will conserve the battery power more than if hardware brightness is set to 100% and Iris is set to 50%

You need to test this but Iris never turns off all pixels on the screen like PWM does and it seems logical to require a little bit more power usage

You can test for PWM and Subpixel flicker from here

I turned on my monitor brightness to 100% so that Iris could adjust the brightness (and I wouldn’t get the flicker). But even if Iris is adjusting the brightness so that it usually is less than 100%, I wonder if I’m squandering energy and battery power since the monitor is set at 100% all the time (even if it appears less because of how Iris is manipulating it). Or is it that when Iris lowers the brightness it also decreases energy usage (and thus conserves battery power)?
