Are there any examples of modern monitors that actually have understandable and reliable buttons for power and configuration? Looking at my Dell monitor, I have six tiny, identical, unlabled buttons under the bezel, and a slightly bigger, slightly different-looking power button. All made of cheesy, ready-to-break plastic.
For the unlabeled control buttons, you have to press one and then a little on-screen GUI pops up with icons that barely tell you what they do. When you choose an option on the on-screen GUI, the function of each button changes. There is about 1 second of latency between when you push any of these buttons and when it does something. Absolutely awful.
- NavinF 2y agoPretty much all high end monitors have a little joystick under/behind them, have decent UI latency, and come with vendor software for changing settings without physically touching the monitor. This is done over I2C so it should be pretty easy to reverse engineer. Try searching "monitor ddc control", it might work out of the box for your monitor
