I've been using this every day for a couple of months. My monitors are a Dell P2715Q and LG 32UD59-B.

The only issue was with the "Read external monitor brightness periodically" preference, which froze the system. But there is a fair warning.

I should add that both monitors are connected via DisplayPort. Also, I found that cheap DP cables can really mess things up. Eventually I found via the VESA website which manufacturers have their cables certified. My go to is called Accell, very solid ever since using their cables.

Hey thank you so much for posting this! I didn't expect this to get so much attention.

Also that VESA page is golden, now I know where to point people when they ask me for advice on what peripherals to buy.


Hey, glad it took off and got you and Lunar some exposure. I’m grateful for it being available free and solving a rather large annoyance. You are obviously very talented, keep up the good work!
