Dell 38 inch UltraSharp monitor

My problem with the brightness is that it pulls up the minimum brightness available. Most of my devices are too bright for me at their minimum settings at night time.

Can't you always lower the brightness in software, at the OS/driver level? Unless you're saying that this compresses the dynamic range of brightnesses too much, to the point where you can't distinguish shades that you need to be able to for your work.

Most cheaper monitors have always on backlights that can't change brightness.

Get a gaming monitor with ULMB and you'll never have this complaint again. It takes a huge chunk out of the brightness.

I'm glad to know that. It doesn't matter if it's the nvidia or ati version?

On a Mac, there is the Shades software, which I used for some time (I think it interfered with Flux, so I stopped). It's quite effective.
