I am not sure I fully understand th eproblem. MonitorControl uses a combination of software and hardware dimming - if hardware brightness (backlight) is set to zero, additional software dimming occurs which does not affect the display's OSD brightness level. Let me know if I misunderstand the issue.

I'll convert this to a discussion.
