Unfortunately it has no impact on the lag delay of the cursor. High Contrast (Start Menu > Settings > Ease of Access > High Contrast > Turn on High Contrast) will only improve readability of Windows Explorer, Office apps and some websites which are designed to detect High Contrast and adjust their layout. The cursor is still a little bit delayed, but nothing unbearable.
I can unfortunately not post a video but you can very easily try for yourself how High Contrast will modify your display experience, even without using the Monitor Mod3 app or the Python script. The script only combines the two and makes integration more seamless.
My course of action is the following:
- plug the HDMI cable
- launch Monitor Mod3 app on the Boox Max2
- plug the USB cable (USB debugging should be already activated on the device with ADB installed on the computer)
- launch the Python Script manually, it will run in the background (no open console) // NB: I am still trying to find a solution to execute the script automatically whenever the device is connected to my computer
- the Python Script will automatically execute shell command "sethc 251" which triggers High Contrast, i.e. upon launch of the script, a window immediately pops up asking confirmation whether I want to activate High Contrast
- Click "Yes", High Contrast is activated
- I can then use the device as a touchscreen monitor with scroll and right click
- When I want to stop using the device as a monitor, I just need to unplug the USB cable and the same High Contrast confirmation window automatically opens to ask me whether I want to disable High Contrast
- Click "Yes", High Contrast is disabled
- Unplug HDMI, stop the Monitor Mod3 app
