Before opening the issue, have you...?

  • Searched for existing issues

Overtime, I found that the brightness levels get out of sync. I have two identical displays and over time of changing brightness, one display will become brighter than the other.

Could an option be added to make the tightness the same post adjustment?

Describe the solution you'd like

On change of brightness, make the brighter display equal to the darker display.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Right now I have to crank the brightness all the way down or up then back to a reasonable brightness.

Anything else?

MonitorControl uses delta syncing. You can use my other app BetterDisplay's syncing feature (under Display Group) where you can configure whether you want to use delta or absolute sync.

I don't really plan to improve MonitorControl's syncing features as I try keeping this app a simple alternative (some say the current syncing stuff is already too complicated).
