Enable the DDC/CI function, but the brightness of the pop-up window cannot be adjusted

[XMuli]

The new monitor 27" 4K, AOC's U27N3C model, actually supports the DDC/CI function, and the manual also supports it, and is set to turn on and reboot over Win10, as shown below.

But the actual adjustment is not possible, the pop-up window is as follows

ENV： Win10 22H2，Monitorian 4.0.1.0

[XMuli]

Also, Monitorian is a very favorite software, thank you for open source and pay, I have been using, if you need to provide the relevant LOG please directly @ me

Please read through detection of external monitors If your monitor's controllability changes time to time, please post probe.log and operation.log.

[XMuli]

What is the path to probe.log and operation.log? I can't find it in everything.

Does it really belong to this kind?

3. The monitor's DDC/CI function is weird. Some monitors are found not to return correct capabilities information.

Please read reporting Some of AOC monitors are known to be weird such as #270

[XMuli]

Thanks for your reply, it works fine after adding the whitelist. Solution: /preclear [Device Instance ID] command

ps: The type-c to type-c connection I used for the AOC and matebook.

I also found that twinkle-tray can be set directly without using the command parameter

Might consider writing the /preclear xxx command and scenario directly into the README in a prominent place? It might help some similar users

[emoacht]

It is just a makeshift solution and nothing to do with users of decent monitors. Basically I don't want to spare too much time for monitors that don't comply with industry standards.
