#2Also note that MonitorControl [1] might be a good complement to this program - it allows manual setting of brightness and contrast, but also adds volume control.

#4Neat! I just got a new screen with DDC/CI and was excited to get that control with Dell Display Manager on my desktop rather than digging through OSD menus. I wish it would just go in the action center like a laptop's built-in screen, but it's still more convenient than using the buttons.
Will have to try this out when I get it hooked up to my Macbook!

#5I have been using this command line tool to control my external monitor from my Mac. I created few Automator scripts calling it to make the monitor either dimmed or bright.

#7Thank you for making this! I used to have to unplug my external monitors and use only my laptop screen at night because they used to be so bright. Always wanted something like this.

#8This is a great example of why I like the Touch Bar on my Macbook Pro. When it is connected to an external monitor, I tap the brightness icon in the Touch Bar and get two sliders: one to control brightness on my laptop, and one to control brightness on my external monitor. This seems to be a native feature; I did not install anything to do it.

#9Why is this needed in the first place? I was shocked when I could no longer control brightness after upgrading from my old 23" Apple Cinema Display.

#10Neat. I have two external monitors which behave very differently though - please make the clipping setting per-monitor rather than global!
