Well, laptop displays generally do have interfaces (ACPI/WMI/GPU/custom, it's a disaster) for the brightness, just external displays didn't really. But you should be able to tell if the image just gets darker or if there is less light.
I think OLED displays also have a standard interface for brightness? Not quite sure.
