Oh wow great, I hope this works for me too! I have an LG 4K screen and the LG tool to change brightness and contrast is really terrible, it has some stupid built-in fake Picture in Picture mode which is constantly flashing red borders around the screen when you use it. And the UI is really bad and slow.

This little menubar control looks like just what I wanted.

Edit: Yes it works great! On my LG24UD58. Perfect! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with my Eizo L568 but that's ancient. And I think it had some special USB-based control method. But really glad to be able to get rid of the LG software now.

PS: You have to enable the contrast with a tickbox, otherwise that slider is not shown.



I use Brightness Sync (https://github.com/OCJvanDijk/Brightness-Sync) for my external LG 5K screen attached to my iMac.

The iMac light sensor controls the brightness of both monitors automatically. You can even insert a fixed offset to match the absolute brightness of both monitors.


Oh thanks as well!

But my Mac has no brightness sensor (it's a mini). I use the screen with my PC and a raspberry pi as well so I couldn't use an iMac, though I have one at the office (if I ever go back there...). It's really a shame they got rid of the target display function, this would have been perfect :(
