### Check if your monitor OSD has a setting for DDC
|
||||
Some monitors have a ddc settings that can be enabled/disabled, make sure you check if your specific monitor has this setting and if it does, you should ensure DDC is enabled.
|

### Known incompatibilities
|
||||
|
||||
MonitorControl does not support the following ports for DDC communication:
|
||||
|
||||
- 2018 Intel Mac mini built-in HDMI port
|
||||
- M1 and entry level M2 Mac mini built-in HDMI port
|
||||
- Mac Studio HDMI port
|
||||
- M1 MacBook Pro 14" and 16" HDMI port
|
||||
- M2 Pro/Max Macs (MBP 14", 16", Mac mini) are NOT supported at all (neither USB-C nor HDMI)
|
||||
|
||||
All of these are **supported** by newer apps:
|

|
||||
- **[BetterDisplay](https://betterdisplay.pro)** (all DDC features are free and unlimited)
|
||||
- **[Lunar](https://lunar.fyi)** (free up to 100 adjustments/day - Mac Mini 2018 HDMI unsupported).

Generally, people seem to have the highest success rates with DisplayPort and the lowest with HDMI.

|

### Known incompatibilities
|
||||
|
||||
Mac Minis made after 2018 (including the M1 Mini) have trouble supporting DDC via the built-in HDMI port. Use the USB-C/Thunderbolt port instead!

## I can't get accurate read values from the monitor
|
||||
|
||||
If the monitor is unable to read values from the display, it will default to the last known values.
