Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl/issues/360

Created a similar tool myself, though with a different approach, and for Windows:
Two slider for contrast and brightness to control all monitors. And also synchronize the changes made on the external monitor using the monitor keys, and laptop keyboard for the internal monitor.
It is using a calibration/mapping table to compensate for different monitor characteristics. These can be changed using the GUI and a graph.
All nicely written in python and QT. Detects (un)plugging monitors.
Known issue: system resume requires restarting of the tool, and the setup should use tabpages instead of a 'scrolling' widget (information; brightness; contrast)
Curious about your opinion.

Going to close this, since it's not really an open issue, hopefully if people need a Windows alternative they'll find it through searching issues or we can reference them, good luck with the project :)
