I have following setup
1 - MBP 2019, i9 8 core
2 - 27 Inch LG HDR 4K Display (27UL850) with Type C cable came with monitor
3 - Using in ClampShell mode

Even in Idle mode, the laptop is running at 18-20w. The temp are about 58-60 degree and fans running at 2100 RPM. Tried various resolutions from SwitchResX, even lowering or increasing refresh rate but power doesn't go down below 15w. With Android Studio, Safari and few other softwares running MBP starts running hot very quickly.

Mostly the solutions I saw were for 16 inch MBP. Does anyone has any solution for the graphics card to run lower power?
