18-year-old built a better computer monitor that doesn't strain your eyes
I use "Monitor Control" on my Mac Studio to control the brightness of my Dell monitor:

- Best MacOS Compatible Monitor

Mac Studio M2 and 8k screen
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.

MacMini keeps adjusting Saturation / Brightness...
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.

I’ve been using display-switch[0] for this for a while now. No problems whatsoever. Works on windows/mac/linux.

Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
Now it just need to be combined with something like https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch to do a DDC/CI monitor input switch as the USB activity moves around.
With a device like this you'd be missing the on_usb_connect event, but presumably you could do something (a special HID device button, an extra device id appearing, who knows) to make it work.

Can Dell’s 6K monitor beat their 8K monitor?
The best option I've found is to hook both computers up to a USB-only KVM, and plug them in via separate video cables to the monitor. Then set up the computers to tell the monitor to change inputs (via DDC commands, which most but not all monitors support) when you change devices on the KVM
There's software to help do this automatically (https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch)
