MonitorPy

MonitorPy is a simple system tray Python application for Windows 10/11 that allows you to control your monitor's brightness and contrast directly from the tray.

Features

• Adjust brightness and contrast for connected monitors.
• System tray icon with quick access menu.
• Select between multiple monitors.
• Reset brightness and contrast to default values.
• Lightweight and easy to use.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+

The following dependencies are used only if you run Monitory.py or build the standalone executable.

• monitorcontrol
• pystray
• pillow
• pyinstaller

Usage

• Download and run the standalone MonitorPy.exe file from the Releases section. To uninstall, just delete the file.

• Download MonitorPy.py, install the dependencies with:

  pip install -r requirements.txt

  and run

  python MonitorPy.py

• To build the standalone executable, use PyInstaller:

  pyinstaller MonitorPy.spec

How it works

• The app discovers all connected monitors supporting DDC/CI.
• You can select a monitor and adjust its brightness and contrast using sliders.
• The tray icon provides quick access to show controls, reset values, and exit.

Troubleshooting

• If you see "No DDC/CI" next to a monitor, it means the monitor does not support DDC/CI or is not detected.
• Make sure you have the required permissions and drivers for monitor control.
