you can just adjust your LED panel to that same overall brightness

This is the kind of thing I would expect my monitor to do for me (unless I manually override it). Brightness AND color (so, cooler during day, when the sun is shining through the windows, warmer at night, when the lightbulbs try to approximate incandescent lighting).

I wrote software to at least adjust brightness: https://len.falken.directory/backlight-auto.html

If you're lucky, your monitor can be controlled over HDMI or DisplayPort commands.

Matching the room brightness is exactly why I wrote it and because I wanted a nearly-dependency-free binary.

This is a great idea.

However keep in mind that sun shining through the window, even if natural, can be a source of eye strain too.

Strange as it sounds, I prefer the constant lighting of the fluorescent lamps in my office.
