    Hello all and thanks in advance,

    I have an XPS 1640 and would like to lower the brightness beyond where it stops by default - is there any way to do this? I could not find anything in the Catalyst control center or within other settings.

    Lowering the contrast may work as well - although I don't know how to do this either. It's just quite hard on my eyes as it is.

    Thank you very much!

    If you look on cnet.downloads or whatever that site is, there are a few brightness adjusters there, there are a few, just read the reviews before you try it.
