Description BryanLiang 2025-03-03 10:27:10 UTC
SUMMARY
The percentage of brightness slider does not sync with OSD settings.

There are few modes in my monitor OSD settings like normal, low-blue. Each mode has its own brightness. When I switch one mode to another, the percentage of brightness slider in panel widget is not synced with that.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Here is the screen record of the situation: https://youtu.be/S8n0m8F9iJI

OBSERVED RESULT
The brightness slider does not sync with OSD settings.

EXPECTED RESULT
The percentage of brightness slider is same as OSD settings

Possibly a DDC issue for not sending change events? Or possibly our issue for not listening to or reacting to them, if it does send them. Needs someone with relevant knowledge and hardware to investigate.

I found a similar bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470106. But if so, the bug should have been fixed.
Comment 3 Thomas AGNOLA 2025-11-01 14:47:04 UTC
Similar problem on a DELL P2723DE.
Was set to 25% brightness on OSD but KDE see it at 100%.
I can change the OSD value from Linux with ddcui that report the correct brightness value.
The screen is connected via HDMI.
