## Supported hardware
* Most modern LCD displays from all major manufacturers supported implemented DDC/CI protocol via DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C or VGA to allow for hardware backlight control.
* Apple (and LG-Apple) displays and built-in displays are supported using native protocol.
* LCD and LED Televisions usually do not implement DDC, these are supported using software alternatives to dim the image (some higher-end sets are able to translate this into hardware backlight dimming).
* OLED or mini/micro-LED displays and televisions are fully supported using gamma table manipulation (this is a no-compromise solution for this class of displays).
* DisplayLink, Airplay and Sidecar is supported using shade (dark overlay) control.
Notable exceptions for hardware control:
* Some displays (notably EIZO) use MCCS over USB or an entirely custom protocol for control. These displays are supported with software dimming only.
* The HDMI port of the 2018 Intel Mac mini and 2020 M1 Mac mini prohibit DDC communication. Software control is still available. We recommend connecting the display via the USB-C port (USB-C to HDMI dongles usually work).
* DisplayLink docks and dongles do not allow for DDC control on Macs, only software dimming is available for these connections.
