MysticMon is a really handy tool that lets you adjust the color parameters of your monitor without actually touching the controls and buttons of the screen. It also works with multiple monitors, so you may use MysticMon to change the brightness or the contrast for your primary and secondary displays at the same time, just by using your mouse or by pressing some keys.
Besides the brightness and the contrast of the screen, MysticMon also lets you adjust the color temperature and the RGB gain values of your monitors. As I've mentioned above, you can perform these tweaks either by using your mouse and pulling the corresponding sliders on the program's interface, or by using hotkeys.
Unfortunately, defining hotkeys wasn't exactly clear and straightforward for me, and using them proved to be rather imprecise. Anyway, using the sliders was easy and effective. MysticMon also enables you to turn the monitors off via double click on the tray icon or by using a settable hotkey.
Most of the time, MysticMon will reside unobtrusively in the system tray area, letting you access it only when you need it. It's lightweight, neat, and it won't consume any remarkable amount of system resources. Furthermore, it worked perfectly fine on my Windows 10 system with dual monitors, even if it hadn't been updated since 2012.
To sum it all up, if you're looking for a quick and easy method of controlling your monitor color settings right from your desktop, then MysticMon is clearly worth a try despite its small flaws.
