I connect my TV because the remote doesn't have a button for changing brightness, but there's a PC app for that
1 comments

TVs should have brightness controls the same way they have volume controls on remotes. It’s great having a >1000 nits display, just like it’s great having a 500W subwoofer, but it doesn’t mean I want to blast it full power all the time and changing it shouldn’t require digging into slow menus.

What’s the PC app please?

My dad's old Sanyo from early 90's did have brightness control buttons.

I have a few extra buttons on my gayming keyboard that I pretty much never use, so I assigned three of them to a script that uses the above app to change brightness between 30/50/100.

Thanks!
