I found these functions on MSDN which control various aspects of monitors such as brightness, contrast, color temperature, etc. This works on my monitors on Windows7 x64. Your mileage may vary.

I do not foresee myself using these, but I put them out here in case someone else does. These functions are all untested. I leave it up to you to decide if the functions that you want to use have been implemented correctly. If you bork your monitor, then go out and buy yourself something really nice. Here are the required au3 files: Monitor Configuration.zip previous: 52 The list of files in the UDF: Monitor Configuration Wrapper.au3 -- This wraps up the MCCS standard into a UDF. Deprecates Low Level.au3. Beware. Example High Level.au3 -- Run this example for a simple monitor configuration dashboard. Monitor Configuration High Level.au3 Monitor Configuration Low Level.au3 -- Deprecated. Monitor Configuration Constants.au3 Monitor Configuration.au3 -- Internal, do not use. What's that? You want to turn off your monitor programmatically? #include "Monitor Configuration Wrapper.au3" Global Const $physical_monitor = GetPhysicalMonitorsFromHMonitor(_WinAPI_EnumDisplayMonitors()[1][0]) PowerMode($physical_monitor, $POWER_OFF)
