M1 Air, Philips PHL272P7VU, all peripherals hanging off the monitor's USB hub. Works fine except for:
1) macOS doesn't support controlling external display brightness, a utility called "MonitorControl" solves that.
2) Audio L/R balance on the USB audio adapter gets set wonky periodically, it's apparently a common issue with external audio to the point that there is a utility called "Balance Lock" to kludge past it.
- monkey_monkey 4y agoI didn't know MonitorControl existed, it's exactly what I've been looking for - it actually properly controls my LG external display's brightness and contrast via DCC.
