1. A backlight controller for selective backlight control of a monitor comprising:
interface circuitry;
memory;
machine-readable instructions; and
processor circuitry to execute the machine-readable instructions to:
obtain a user display context relative to the monitor, the user display context based on sensor data, the sensor data to include user proximity data;
determine whether to enable or disable the selective backlight control for the monitor based on the user display context;
cause first backlight sections of the monitor to output at a first light intensity based on the user display context; and
cause second backlight sections of the monitor to output at least one of (a) the first light intensity or (b) a second light intensity that is different than the first light intensity based on the determination.
