有一个大部分显示器都有, 但是很少人知道的功能: 显示数据通道命令接口 (Display Data Channel Command Interface, DDC/CI) (窝也是刚知道)
这个功能有什么用呢 ? 可以用软件 (主机) 去控制显示器的多种工作参数, 比如亮度, 对比度, 音量, 色温, 输入源等. 大部分使用显示器菜单 (OSD) 可以设置的参数, 通过 DDC/CI 都可以, 再也不用费劲去按显示器上手感超差的按键了 ! (误
本文对 4 台显示设备进行了实际测试, 并对一些控制功能进行了说明.

6 总结与展望
0 工作原理 (I2C)
主机的显卡和显示器之间, 通过 I2C 总线通信 (DP, HDMI, DVI, VGA 都有). 在这个过程中, 主机不仅可以获取显示器的信息 (分辨率, 刷新率, 显示器名称等), 也可以向显示器发送命令, 这就是 DDC/CI.
具体使用的协议叫做 显示器控制命令集 (Monitor Control Command Set, MCCS), 其中的每一项功能叫做 虚拟控制面板 (Virtual Control Panel, VCP).
1 软件安装 (ArchLinux)
此处以 ArchLinux 举例, 各种操作系统应该都支持.
-
(1) 安装
ddcutil:> sudo pacman -S ddcutil -
(2) 将自己加入
i2c用户组:> sudo gpasswd -a s20 i2c此处用户名
s20需要替换成自己的. -
(3) 重启.

2 显示器: 飞利浦 275M8RZ (27 英寸, 2021 年生产)
在此说一下这个型号 (275M8RZ) 显示器的一些小知识:
(显示器下方的 4 个按键, 从左至右依次编号为 1 2 3 4, 比如 4 是 OK/菜单 键, 5 是电源开关)
-
屏幕控制锁定在这个状态下, 显示器是无法进行设置的, 按显示器的按键只会在屏幕上显示
屏幕控制锁定.解锁方式:
- (1) 关闭显示器 (按 5)
- (2) 按住 4 不松, 开机 (按 5)
-
打开/关闭 DDC/CI
在正常显示状态下, 同时按住 1 和 4 不松, 保持一会儿.
-
屏幕显示
DDC/CI 关闭: 表示已经关闭此功能. -
屏幕显示
DDC/CI 开启: 表示已经开启此功能 (默认).

显示器型号 FALCON, MCCS 版本 2.0.
VCP 和 MCCS 版本都比上一个显示器低, 正常, 毕竟 10 年前的老显示器. 支持的 VCP 功能也较少.

Feature: DC (Display Mode) Values: 00: Standard/Default mode 01: Productivity 02: Mixed 03: Movie 04: User defined这个就是显示器预设的一些显示模式, 比如标准模式, 电影模式, 用户自定义等.
-
VCP dfVCP 版本> ddcutil getvcp df VCP code 0xdf (VCP Version ): 2.1VCP 版本 2.1.
-
VCP 60输入源> ddcutil getvcp 60 VCP code 0x60 (Input Source ): DVI-1 (sl=0x03)参考之前的说明:
Feature: 60 (Input Source) Values: 01: VGA-1 03: DVI-1这里显示的明显是错的, 这个显示器实际上有 4 个输入接口: DP, HDMI, DVI, VGA.
-
VCP 62音量> ddcutil getvcp 62 VCP code 0x62 (Audio speaker volume ): current value = 50, max value = 100这里也有问题, 这个显示器没有内置喇叭, 也没有音频输出接口. 所以这个音量选项实际上没用.

小米电视不支持 DDC/CI, 有点遗憾.
5 显示器: (新买不久) (杂牌) (23.6 英寸, 2022 年生产)
这个是便宜的杂牌显示器 (全新只要不到 300 元), 只不过显示效果不太好罢了, 但凑合凑合肯定能用.
23.6 英寸, 1920x1080 分辨率 60Hz 刷新率, 还有内置喇叭, HDMI 可以一线同时传输画面和声音, 还是比较香的. 别问窝为啥买这么便宜的显示器 (因为穷)

另外还有个问题, 这个显示器有个内置的喇叭, 可以通过 HDMI 传输声音, 但是却没有音量控制的 VCP 功能.
可以看到, 便宜的杂牌显示器的 DDC/CI 功能问题还是比较多的.
6 总结与展望
大部分显示器都支持 DDC/CI 功能, 包括 10 年前的老显示器, 也包括便宜的杂牌显示器. 好的显示器对 DDC/CI 的支持更好一些, 功能也更多一些. 便宜的杂牌显示器问题就比较多了, 但是常用功能还是有的, 基本不影响使用.
有了 DDC/CI, 就可以在此基础上做一些方便的小工具了. 比如显示器按键的手感太差, 按着手疼, 那么可以把常用功能做成软件, 直接用软件调节显示器参数.
也可以做一个自动调节亮度的功能, 可以根据时间进行调节, 比如白天把亮度调高, 晚上把亮度调低. 甚至可以外接一个环境光传感器, 根据光照情况自动调节.
还有很多可能, 上面只是两个小小的栗子.
