  • I prefer to change my laptop brightness from control panel menu if this software could only do this.

  • @Nicky,
    This software can reduce the brightness to the extend control panel cannot do. Try it out, does not require any installation.

  • Useless, only reduce software brightness, the screen lamp works at the same level so it makes your screen dimmer without saving power… totally useless

  • its good. i like it.
    my laptop monitor is too bright at night even on the lowest setting so this helps my roommate.

    Thanks.

  • My Avira Free antivirus software detects a trojan in it…can you advise?

  • This is just what I need. Less eye strain for me

  • Thanks!
