Regarding the lowest brightness (while still being on), I agree this shouldn’t be marked as “resolved”. There is a workaround that helps (redshift or other tools to darken the displayed image), but not enough IMHO.
It really does not go low enough for use in low-light environments. It is still uncomfortable/harsh to look at in the darkest of environments even when using redshift. Other laptop screens can dim the backlight considerably lower than the AMD-powered framework 16.
Case in point:
Left: framework 16
Right: thinkpad e595
Both screens are showing the same completely white image at their lowest brightness (brightnessctl s 0%
) (without the use of redshift or similar software).
I should mention: in the picture, the thinkpad has no screen protector, while the framework has this “blue light blocking” one
