Cross-Platform Gigabyte Monitor Configuration In Python

Introduction

A script to configure Gigabyte monitor attributes (brightness, contrast, kvm switch, etc...) without bloatware.

Usage

usage: monitor.py [-h] -p
                  {brightness,contrast,sharpness,low-blue-light,kvm-switch,colour-mode,rgb-red,rgb-green,rgb-blue}
                  -v [0-255]

Dependencies

• pyhidapi (Make sure to install the hidapi shared library)

Tested Setups

• M27U on Windows 11.
• M34WQ on MacOS and Windows 11.

Caveats

• The supplied script supports only writing attributes and not reading them.
• Only works from the currently active KVM input device.
