How I Use DisplayBuddy to Control my Samsung Monitor Settings

I have two external monitors, one is Apple Studio Display in my home, and the other one is a Samsung M8 monitor.

Controlling the Apple Studio Display’s brightness and sound volume settings via keyboard is pretty easy with my Macbook Air‘s native connection.

But with Samsung, I had to use the monitor’s remote and go to multiple menu items to change these settings.

With Displaybuddy’s new Samsung Smart integration, it was pretty easy to set my Mac to control the monitor.

Here’s a short video on how to do it:

How-To Guide

Automate Your Display Control: With multiple screens being the norm, DisplayBuddy steps in as your central command for monitor settings. You can change color, brightness, volume, and resolution across your monitors simultaneously to match your specific setup. Even better, you can turn off all monitors at once, saving you the hassle of managing each one individually.

Creating consistent settings across your monitors is a breeze with custom presets. After adjusting settings on a specific monitor, simply click the Settings icon and choose “Save as preset.” Name it for easy recall—like “Night Mode” for dimmed evening setup. These presets help maintain your preferred look and feel throughout the day with just a click.

If you’re seeking a hassle-free way to manage multiple monitors with preset modes and handy keyboard shortcuts, DisplayBuddy is the solution you need. Enhance your multi-monitor experience by downloading DisplayBuddy through Setapp, and join a growing collection of curated apps aimed at improving your Mac experience.
