display-switch VS MonitorControl

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

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.

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)

Cynical footnote: PC users can continue to enjoy https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch while Mac users need to buy a 300 USD device. That's the Mac experience for you :D

There's a workaround in https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch now for M1 Macs. In general, you made your bed by buying a Mac, sleep in it.

Oops I missed that https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch

Then we will run https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch to have the monitors switch inputs when you use the USB switch.

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

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.
