What is the crowd's opinion of Monitorian?

From 3.5 billion comments

I had to download "Monitorian" https://github.com/emoacht/Monitorian

It allows you to even change contrast (if you design/work on photos and videos, play, code it's a game changer you can control everything in 2-3 clicks).

>I'm still going to work to get my monitor buttons fixed, somehow, but this at least gives me the functionality I need now - changing the brightness depending on the sunlight in my room - as well as other things.

Try out Monitorian for better integration with Windows 10, if applicable. You can also get it on GitHub. It's for brightness adjustment only.

Flipping also guarantees access to OSD controls, for when tools like Monitorian (brightness) or SoftMCCS (most controls) don't suffice.

Is it possible for you to test if the monitor accepts DDC controls? I've been eyeing the monitor but coming from the macOS side where this feature is standard, I would really like to see if it allows its hardware brightness to be controlled through software. I believe on windows you can do it through an app like monitarian. https://github.com/emoacht/Monitorian

I'd appreciate the help!

Quick tip: if you don't want to press the button to lower your brightness, you can use this program called Monitorian.

Windows brightness slider generally isn't a thing for desktops, you can try monitorian which will work with a lot of monitors but not all https://github.com/emoacht/Monitorian, otherwise set it from the monitor's own buttons.

Ye that's working as intended, the windows brightness control thing only works with internal laptop/tablet/whatever screens. Can try third party tools like this https://github.com/emoacht/Monitorian , not all monitors are going to be compatible though. Or you can set the brightness from the monitor's built in menus.

The Windows 10 Night Light doesn't dim though, it'll only adjust white balance. Monitorian is really handy if you only want dimming, but your monitor has to support DDC/CI. If it doesn't, the only (100% reliable) option is to use the controls on the monitor itself to adjust brightness/backlight level.

That's right. If you have Windows you can try Monitorian first, it works the same way but it might be faster to check if it works or not. Otherwise on Linux just read the external monitors wiki entry.

Use Monitorian, softMCCS or any of the other DDC/CI tools. As long as DDC/CI connection is enabled, it should work. I hope that your monitor comes with DDC/CI enabled by default.

First of all, kudos for your app!

I for a long time used ClickMonitorDDC to control the external monitor's brightness, but switched a couple of months ago to Monitorian , mainly because it is an open source Store app. Could perhaps your new endeavor and this join forces?
