Weird monitor bugs people sent me in the last 5 years

• Lunar

  Intelligent adaptive brightness for your external monitors

Looks like you’re out of the loop on this. No OS has the ability to control the real brightness of the monitor out of the box.

At best it could dim the brightness through a software overlay, but neither Windows nor Linux implement DDC/CI brightness control by default.

You have to use a third party app like:

- TwinkleTray [0] on Windows

- Lunar [1] on macOS (or MonitorControl [2] if you want a free, but less automatated solution)

- ddcutil [3] on Linux

I wonder if anyone has worked on open source firmware for monitors, so that we can fix some of these bugs. I also wonder how many security vulnerabilities are in DDC parsing firmware. MonitorDarkly proved that there are definitely some:
