Dear DisplayLink team, thank you for implementing the feature of brightness control via DDC for MacOS, this is something that was missing in my setup for a long time so I had to use software dimming.

Now I would like to ask, if it would be possible to allow to control the monitor via DDC using a third party application. I use 4 monitors, two of which are connected via DisplayLink, and I use two popular open source programs in order to keep the brightness in sync between all of them. If DisplayLink could allow this program or any other to control the brightness of the monitors via DDC just like it is possible with the ones that that are natively connected, it would be amazing.

Thank you very much and I await your feedback.
