Amen! Why can't that be software? I'd be happy to hook up a second cable or a BT connection to send control signals.

If not that, how about a simple Dpad at least!?

And my familiarity with DDC is mostly finding the wonky app that overrides EDID information because the monitor and the computer can't seem to agree today.
