Description

External monitor brightness can be adjusted from GNOME Shell through a ddcutil-backed slider. It is useful for displays that support DDC/CI control but are not handled by normal laptop brightness keys.

DDC control depends on monitor support, cables and permissions. Test slowly because some displays react poorly or inconsistently to brightness commands.
