Searched for existing issues

My monitor flickers every time I connect it until I manually change my refresh rate from variable to 60hz. More details here https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/1221mz2/dell_s3221qs_monitor_flickers_when_connected_to_a/.

It's tangential to setting brightness, but it would be amazing if it's possible to fix it somehow.

Describe the solution you'd like

Set a default refresh rate for external monitors. I could use this to tell MonitorControl that I want external monitors to be at 60hz and on reconnect have it apply that setting for me automatically.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively, a way to disable variable rate refresh. I don't know if that is exposed.

Anything else?
