### Steps to reproduce
Hello!
My Samsung LC49G95T monitor isnt being picked up. I have 3 monitors and only a BenQ monitor is being picked up.
However at home on a different machine I have a slightly early model that is a single monitor, C43J89x which works absolutely fine.
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
Brightness is adjustable across both the BenQ and Samsung monitors independantly or together.
### ❌ Actual Behavior
Samsung monitor is not available to adjust the brightness at all, even with the increased compatibility enabled

Research direction
Start with the Power Display area and reproduce the issue on Windows 11 using the Samsung LC49G95T alongside the BenQ monitor. Check whether increased compatibility changes detection and compare the result with the working C43J89x setup. Done means the Samsung monitor is recognised and brightness can be adjusted independently or together; no bug report ZIP is attached, so further diagnostics may be needed.
