I've tried lowering brightness multiple times, but the decreased contrast and color vibrance that causes on backlit LCDs always bugs me too much, and then I crank the brightness back up.

On my phone it's a different story, since it's OLED. Especially in lower light reducing brightness has little impact on contrast and vibrance.

Can't wait for OLED or microLED to become the standard in desktop and laptop displays so we no longer have to deal with the drawbacks of backlights.

I see both of these as transitional technologies until SED and its laser variant are up and operational en masse.

These are superior in color, brightness and smoothness much like CRT, without most drawbacks.
