Brightness Range seems to be incorrect. My monitor reaches max brightness at 50% of the slider range.

Hi, it seems like the connection or the display does not support hardware brightness control which the app uses by default in the 50-100% range. Try disabling DDC for this display so the app uses software dimming for the entire range.
