Nvidia drivers screen brightness and back light

[blubee blubeeme]

I am not looking for a screensaver; I am looking for a way to dim the
brightness of the screen. Even when I use the xrandr or redshift to dim the
brightness, let's say i turn it all the way down to 0 or something like
that.

If I turn off the lights in the room, I can still see the led behind the
screen lighting up the four corners of the screen.

Not to mention that xset command you referenced me earlier doesn't work for
even turning off the monitor.

btw, I use i3lock -c 000000 to try to get a black screen as well but again,
the lights are still there.
