Monitorian is a slim and powerful tool for Windows that allows you to adjust the brightness and contrast of your monitors individually and conveniently. The ability to control both internal and external monitors via a single user interface is particularly practical, instead of having to fiddle around with the controls on the outside of each monitor. In this article, I'll show you how to install and set up Monitorian and make the most of its many functions. By the end, you'll know why this tool can be an asset to your everyday digital life.
For detailed instructions and an explanation of all configuration options, I recommend the YouTube video linked below. In this video, every single setting is explained in detail so that you receive comprehensive instructions for the exact setup. You can find any code from the video in this article so that you can use it directly without having to type it in.
Why Monitorian? The advantages at a glance
If you use several monitors, you know the problem: Each monitor has different settings for brightness and contrast, and constantly switching between the menus of the monitors can be annoying. This is exactly where Monitorian comes in:
- Central controlAll connected monitors can be managed via a single interface.
- Fine tuningAdjust brightness and contrast down to the last detail.
- SynchronizationWith just one click, you can adjust all monitors at the same time.
- MultilingualismThe user interface is available in several languages, including German.
- CompatibilityThe tool works with both internal and external displays.
Monitorian offers a great advantage for shared workstations as it allows users to adjust the brightness of their monitors individually. In environments where multiple people use the same workstation, each user can save their preferred brightness settings without affecting the settings of others. This is particularly useful as screen brightness needs and preferences vary from person to person - some prefer a brighter display, while others prefer a more subdued brightness to reduce eye strain.
