v1.37

Software

• Version 1.37:
  • Added 'Short Monitor ID' string for using to identify the monitor from command-line. You can get the 'Short Monitor ID' of your monitor by using the 'Copy Monitor Strings' option (Ctrl+M).
  • Updated to use only the first byte of 'Input Select' (VCP Code 60), as a workaround for some monitors that provide incorrect 'Input Select' value. If from some reason you want to disable this option, simply open ControlMyMonitor.cfg with any text editor, and set the UseOnlyOneByte value to 0
