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.
