Description

my system is set up to turn off the lights on my keyboards and mouse, headphones, and various lights in the tower after 20 min of no interaction after the main screen is powered off.

unfortunately, despite being connected via usb, the 3.5 turing stays on, and while it's not bright enough to be a bother i'm more worried about screen burn in after a while.

I'm requesting a function in settings to turn off the screen when the system puts other devices to sleep.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the settings handling and the code responsible for display power or system-idle behavior; done means the 3.5-inch Turing screen turns off when the system sleeps other devices and the behavior is configurable in settings.
