KDE Plasma Widget for external monitor brightness adjustment

That is an ABL or Automatic Brightness Limiter and it’s one of the things that’s messing Lunar’s brightness Sync algorithm because the max brightness is constantly changing.

It might be possible to disable from the monitor hidden service menu, if you can find a way to enter it. But it will also greatly decrease the lifespan of the diodes as OLEDs are not made to go so long with high brightness and heat.

If the monitor does not provide such an option, there is no way to circumvent this as the function is embedded in the monitor firmware.

thanks for the info. i also tried in the hidden service menu, no dice.

psa to all others out there, just watch out for this feature in oleds if it's a dealbreaker. otherwise i love this display as a monitor. for me it's not that big of a deal for the price i paid.

btw even my studio monitor speakers do this with no ability to disable... seems like a trend in major electronics these days.
