TIL there are apps that can control your monitor without touching the buttons on it

DisplayBuddy

All DDC related features in BetterDisplay and MonitorControl is completely free without limitation or no nag screens of any kind. Lunar has manual control available for free (with a daily adjustment limit). DisplayBuddy was also mentioned here - it is a rather limited app and asks a bunch of money for stuff that is available for free and in a better implemented form in basically every other app (which is weird as it probably uses recycled code from the open-source parts of MonitorControl or Lunar), so it should just be avoided...

Lunar.fyi

The best apps on macOS are BetterDisplay and Lunar by far in terms of features. MonitorControl is a strong offering as well, the gold standard in this field and is open source but it does not support recent M2 macs or any of the built-in HDMI ports of Macs since 2018 (note: BetterDisplay is the only macOS app that supports everything - Intel, M1, M2, USB-C, HDMI - even the HDMI port of the 2018 Mini).
