Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
In the Power Display profiles, you can preset brightness, contrast, and color temperature. Could an option also be added to turn the displays off completely?
### Scenario when this would be used?
You could activate a "cinema mode" with just two mouse clicks that turns off all displays except one. In this case, more screens simply mean more distraction.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Power Display profile implementation and how profiles currently apply brightness, contrast, and color temperature; then identify the display power-control entry point. Done means a profile can turn selected displays off while leaving another display on, with the behavior available through the profile UI.
