Really dim down an external display
Authored by: pixelbart on Fri, Jun 13 2008 at 8:52AM PDT

I have a (wayy too bright) Samsung SyncMaster 223BW. These tools are great, although there isn't one with all the features I need...

Brightness Control: does strange things with my color profiles/gamma/whatever

Nocturne: I love the B&W mode, less colors, less to get extracted by, but the only problem is that the Brightness Control doesn't seem to work with my SyncMaster, although it is the primary display! But otoh, it's connected to the Mini-DVI screen, so it depends on your definition of 'primary display'....

Shades: great, but I'm missing the B&W option of Nocturne :P

I'm running Nocturne + Shades now, but it's not a perfect solution :P
