Before opening the issue, have you...?

Searched for existing issues

I want to adjust the advanced settings of my external monitor, because the dimming point is around the middle and I want to adjust that. I am not that familiar with the DDC values, so I do not know what an appropriate DDC min and DDC max would be and what these values mean with regards to DDC. I assume the min and max scale on the adjustment slider.

Some tooltips and an explanation modal pop-up would be greatly appreciated for noobs like me.

Describe the solution you'd like

So as I mentioned a pop-up modal with a larger explanation and tooltips for individual fields would be sufficient.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Searching for all the information on Google, but I find a lot about DDC in general, but not DDC values and what a correct min and max values would look like.

Anything else?

The current feature set is considered final by the team so there are no plans to further improve the UI in this way. You can check out BetterDisplay as it has ample of hints for all settings.
