MonitorControl VS ddcutil

I use "Monitor Control" on my Mac Studio to control the brightness of my Dell monitor:

https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl

Just wanted to put in a plug for the MonitorControl app. I just installed it, and it enables brightness control for the QN700B from Apple's keyboard. So great not to have to pull up any Samsung menus to adjust it.

Let me introduce you to Monitor Control:https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl

Good free alternative is MonitorControl. Pretty sure it does everything Lunar does but is open-sourced.

You can with monitor control app

I'm glad you asked! I control the volume of them thru the monitor using the back/forward buttons on my mx master 3 mouse via the MonitorControl app, it's great!

Installed https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl and worked like a charm, big thanks!

As a fellow Mac + OLED TV owner, I think you'll appreciate these too. MonitorControl to access brightness settings through your keyboard and Hazeover to darken background and prevent burn-in.

Apologies. I hate when people do that as well.

In addition to the other links posted, ddcutil.org has some more good info: https://www.ddcutil.com/#introduction

Sous Linux j'avais utilisé ddcutil

Most monitors have a Virtual Control Panel (VCP), which implements features defined in the Monitor Control Command Set (MCCS). This is a VESA standard. You can find the Input selection command in table 8-10. You send these commands over an I2C bus called Display Data Channel/Command Interface which is yet another VESA standard. If you are running Windows https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html will let you use every VCP feature your monitor has. For Linux, https://www.ddcutil.com/ does this. For Mac, https://github.com/alin23/Lunar

The protocol is called DDC , it's a VESA standard. In there, it's called VCP features. If you are running Windows https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html will let you use every VCP feature your monitor has. For Linux, https://www.ddcutil.com/ does this. For Mac, https://github.com/alin23/Lunar note how all three mention input selection.

ddcutil (a command-line tool, and what most UI tools are based on)

A related non rust tool (that also has an optional GUI) is ddcutil. How does this compare to that?

I've also used ddcui: https://www.ddcutil.com/#introduction, available as an AUR package: https://github.com/rockowitz/ddcutil. This has a nice GUI: https://www.ddcutil.com/screenshots/ddcui_features.png and works on everything I've tried it on out of the box.
