Brightness problem #3645

Closed sofinvalery closed 1 week ago

sofinvalery commented 1 week ago

I installed BetterDisplay and modified some settings on an external monitor connected to MBA M1, which broke the brightness setting. After increasing the brightness, it reverts to the minimum value when using the native macOS Calibration Assistant. I have tried resetting both monitor and BetterDisplay settings. I also did Exhaustive reset, no luck. Auto-adjusting brightness settings are disabled everywhere. Starting to think it's macOS Sequoia beta problem

Hmm. Honestly I don't recognize this calibrator assistant app (I might be ignorant, sorry about that). Is this a built-in macOS feature?

sofinvalery commented 1 week ago

Yes, it's built-in feature to calibrate external monitor

Oh, it's a Projector calibration. Never seen that but I don't really use a projector either. :)

Anyway, do you have this issue when the app is not running?

sofinvalery commented 1 week ago

Yes, even an Exhaustive reset didn't revert it. I have to use it because of my crappy monitor

Yes, it is probably a macOS issue then. Honestly I never saw this "Projector..." option there (I don't have it). Maybe it is there for analog connections only? If so, it is highly possible that it's buggy as Apple engineers tend to use their own, latest, shiniest tech the most so some of these bugs go unnoticed.
