Description 1d28ed33 2017-06-07 12:30:12 UTC 
Testing with an old CRT monitor I noticed that a brightness slider is displayed for that monitor. How funny, adjusting the brightness of a CRT monitor??

Please provide steps to reproduce the problem. See https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/Bugzilla/Guidelines for more information. Thanks!

I use Arch, I can confirm brightness slider is available in Gnome shell top bar menu when I use an old CRT monitor.

STR:
0. (optional) Destroy your old modern LCD monitor by smashing it at your wall.
1. Buy a CRT monitor from eBay or a relative/friend or use one you got from your local wasteyard.
2. If needed, buy necessary cables.
3. Connect it to your modern i7 PC with a nVidia card (if that matters).
4. Install Fedora 25, or another distro you like, which uses GNOME. Wayland and novoue (or how it is spelled) BTW.
5. Boot it up.
6. Click in the top-right menu or go to the settings -> power.

What happens: You see a brightness slider, which does nothing when used.

WHat should happen: Either make the slider work, by magically dimming CRT monitors or – as requested – remove that slider.

That was the STR part (where to see this) I was asking for. Thanks!

You're welcome, but actually this is already covered/described in the "product" and "component" selection of this issue…
