why doesn't it have an ambient light sensor and adjust automatically like phones have been doing for decades?
i have to either use third party tools to manually set the brightness or use a clunky OSD menu with 15 key presses to change brightness

no wonder dark mode is so popular because you can't easily just turn down the brightness at night so instead people had to reinvent a whole new design paradigm

>light sensor and adjust automatically
Monitors are made for well lit office use
Get a laptop if you want to use it in your basement goon cave

>basement goon cave
i'm actually on the 2nd floor of my house with giant windows, so during the day have to have max brightness with light mode, and then i have room lighting automated to go ambient warm at sunset, and that's when i want to turn it down but i hate doing it manually every time
yes i'm going to write a script to automate this as soon as i finish this rant, but this shit should just be basic built in functionality

This is why my future monitors will be LG 42" TVs to use with ColorControl. Easy keyboard shortcuts for different screen profiles. Never fucking with shitty OSDs again.

>>105967681 (OP)
because that would add cost, and /g/ts are broke af

My office dell screen does this, I turned it off. You should kill yourself for being such a useless normie.

that's not very welcoming of you

>>105967732
you mean prompt a script

>>105967681 (OP)
Idk
Takes 2 buttons presses to change the brightness of my Alienware OLED monitor
It's always set at around 11 though

>why doesn't it have an ambient light sensor and adjust automatically like phones have been doing for decades?
almost every benq monitor made in the last 5 years has this
see that black oval thing at the bottom of picrel? it's a huge ass brightness sensor

>>105967879
almost every monitor supports ddc/ci brightness control
no need to buy an lg tv for that, buy an ad.

# Daytime, the room is well lit from the sun outside
# Set brightness to 90
ddcutil setvcp 10 90

# Night time, the sun is down and the room is lit by some soft lights
# Set brightness to 50
ddcutil setvcp 10 50


now make a script on a timer or something or a manual toggle shortcut to manually change it. easy.

benq monitors have a built-in ambient light sensor. and nothing stops you from building your own sensor that would automatically control the brightness of your screen. there's probably some solutions that already exist on the market.

>why doesn't it have an ambient light sensor
mine does, you're just poor

it is perfect weather Sunday and you are shitposting on 4chan.
Holy fucking yikes, you need serious help.

>>105968756
That's still limited compared to what ColorControl can do unless DDC/CI can actually change color profiles, audio outputs, refresh rate, etc. Also do you know of any software that can do those changes when I launch a certain game/app?

>>105968980
>change color profiles
no use case
>audio outputs
the fuck do you even mean by this, why are you using your tv... to switch audio outputs
>refresh rate
manually changing refresh rate on a VRR monitor/tv is completely useless and counterproductive

>>105968980
I think DDC can do lots of things
here is my piece of shit old garbage monitor.

You don't shit post in the summer sun?

Fucking niggercattle ColorControl is almost certainly implemented *with* DDC/IC, like every other manufacturer specific display control software out there.

And DDC/IC has been feature in monitors SINCE FUCKING CRTS. Virtually all monitors made in the last 25 years can have most of their settings changed using DDC/IC. Definitely the brightness.

>Also do you know of any software that can do those changes when I launch a certain game/app?
Fucking windows users

it's rainy today in india

I change color profiles every day for HDR and web browsing. I swap audio outputs to my TWS when the neighbors are being too loud. I change refresh rate caps for games that have problems with VRR flicker.

>>105969297
I doubt it is because it does things that seem to go beyond the scope of DDC/IC and you link it via network and not through HDMI
