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.

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.

上面介绍过的 VCP 功能基本就不再重复了, 只说一些有意思的.
-
VCP c0显示器使用时间 (小时)> ddcutil getvcp c0 VCP code 0xc0 (Display usage time ): Usage time (hours) = 7186 (0x001c12) mh=0xff, ml=0xff, sh=0x1c, sl=0x12这个显示器已经使用了 7186 小时 (约 300 天).

-
VCP cc显示器菜单语言> ddcutil getvcp cc VCP code 0xcc (OSD Language ): Chinese (simplified / Kantai) (sl=0x0d)参考之前的说明:
Feature: CC (OSD Language) Values: 00: Reserved value, must be ignored 02: English 03: French 04: German 05: Italian 08: Portuguese (Portugal) 09: Russian 0a: Spanish 0d: Chinese (simplified / Kantai)这个显示器支持的界面语言就比较少了.
-
VCP dc显示模式> ddcutil getvcp dc VCP code 0xdc (Display Mode ): Mixed (sl=0x02)参考之前的说明:
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)

VCP cc显示器菜单语言> ddcutil getvcp cc VCP code 0xcc (OSD Language ): Spanish (sl=0x0a)参考之前的说明:
Feature: CC (OSD Language) Values: 01: Chinese (traditional, Hantai) 02: English 03: French 04: German 06: Japanese 0a: Spanish 0d: Chinese (simplified / Kantai)这里也是错的, 实际显示器菜单语言是简体中文. (果然是杂牌显示器)
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.
