# Set input source
WinDisplay.exe set-input --monitor-idx 0 --source hdmi1

# Get current input source

Supported input sources: vga1, vga2, dvi1, dvi2, dp1, dp2, hdmi1, hdmi2, hdmi3, usbc1, usbc2, usbc3, or custom hex codes like 0x11 (DDC/CI).

Change monitor resolution and refresh rate:

# Set resolution with specific refresh rate
WinDisplay.exe set-resolution --monitor-idx 0 --width 1920 --height 1080 --refresh-hz 144

# Set resolution (uses default refresh rate)
WinDisplay.exe set-resolution --monitor-idx 0 --width 2560 --height 1440

Adjust monitor brightness (requires DDC/CI support):

# Set brightness
WinDisplay.exe set-brightness --monitor-idx 0 --percent 75

# Get current brightness
WinDisplay.exe get-brightness --monitor-idx 0
