Hello everyone. Recently, I see you make 2 choice really criticized by users: - Remove the posibility to choose what the laptop do when the lid is closed (in power settings). - Remove the idle of the screen after some times with no activity (in screen settings) Although I do not understand the logic that led to this (if anyone can explain why?), now don't write this e-mail as a user, don't as a programmer but as an electronics engineer. With the first choice, user can't disable auto-standby, of its laptop, when the lid is closed. So, if he don't want, or can't, turn laptop to standby (download, IRC chats, etc), it need to keep the lid open and it's keep the screen ON. With the second choice, user can't idle the screen if he don't use its laptop. So, to summarize, if user don't want to stop the activity of its laptop, it need to keep its display on. It's bad: LCD have a limited life time and the backlight power supply is the main cause of failures on LCD. Even if with LED backlight this risk is smaller, it is always present. And in laptop it's difficult to change the screen. That is why I ask you to reconsider these two choices, to save LCD screen. PS: And, secondarily, it is difficult to sleep at night if your screen stays on.
