Desktop LCD monitor which allows backlight to be controlled in software

The standard is DDC/CI and seems to be widely supported - it may need to be enabled from the monitors OSD (mine was disabled).

softMCCS from ddc-ci.com allows lots of control but it's too low level technical for regular use.

Just to control brightness and contrast I'm using http://clickmonitorddc.bplaced.net (Windows).


Try either TwinkleTray (it works for me on Win10 2020) or Monitorian.

ClickMonitorDDC seems to be down/no longer supported.
