+At present this is the most fool proof way to turn the display on and off.
+
+The RPi.GPIO module this uses writes directly to memory, overriding all sanity checks.
+I couldn't get it to work with lgpio nor any command line utility that's one apt-get away.
+Modifying the brightness file under /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness also did nothing.
+
+So we're stuck with this for now.
