Ever wanted to dim your laptop monitor brightness to your desired level to save battery? Here is a freeware application which can dim the brightness of your monitor from 0-90% with an increment of 10%. This is specially useful when your laptop is running on battery. Although power setting allow you to decrease the brightness, there is a limit set by Windows. This freeware sets the limit from 0% (fully bright) to 90% (dim).
This application does not require any installation and it runs from the system tray. Another good feature is that you can set hotkeys for dimming the monitor. It can dim the monitor brightness of desktops as well using hotkeys.
Features;
- Change brightness to desired value
- Hot Keys for increasing and decreasing brightness
- Specially useful for laptops running on battery
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!

Yeah, this just saved my eyes. My Toshiba laptop drivers were broken and stuck on maximum brightness. Really easy to use.
Does anyone of you know a similar program that works for two monitors (but separately — in my case laptop-screen + external monitor)?!

Useless. Dims the screen yet any time you clock the taskbar – it appears as normal. Same goes for MSN messenger notifcations.
Nice tool, but it seems to be fiddling with the Gamma correction, rather than actually dimming the LED/Backlight. This is useful in some cases, but not exactly a power saver.
wooooooooo! i really appreciated this! same as his, my laptop is stucked to max brightness, and it kills my eyes. not now!
thanks a lot!
