A bit misleading. Sure macOS does not naively have this feature. I been using Monitor Control [1] which talks via I2C DDC [2] to my 2 Dell monitors w/o issue. It can also update monitor volume and keep it in sync. It is easily accessible via keyboard shortcut or by opening a menu from the status bar.

- alin23 4y agoCEC is completely different from DDC. You would use CEC to mostly send commands that a TV/AVR remote would have. While DDC has been created with computer monitors in mind, for controlling things like brightness, contrast, volume, input etc. I’ve also wanted to use CEC for my Volum app to control AVR devices (https://lowtechguys.com/Volum https://lowtechguys.com/Volum). But I had to go with the HTTP API route and only support the AVRs that have network controls because CEC is absolutely not available on the Mac. Source: I’m the developer of Lunar (https://lunar.fyi https://lunar.fyi) another app for controlling monitors through DDC.
- mdmglr 4y agoI understand. The person asking says they have a Dell monitor so I don’t know why the top answer is about CEC.
- alin23 4y agoOh right, I missed the question since the link pointed to the answer directly. I noticed some users think Lunar uses CEC behind because they’re more used with it from their TVs, hence the confused question I think.
