I guess what you might be after is called DDC/IC or MCCS:

Not sure what part of OpenBSD manages this.

Hi!
Not sure if this is possible but I'd like to dim my external display's
backlight. Unfortunately this gives:
$ xbacklight
No outputs have backlight property
One can do xrandr --output DP2 --brightness 0.5, but this only makes the
colors less bright (as opposed to dimming the backlight).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
