    "A fine start..."

    December 3, 2008  |   By RAMdrd

    Pros

    Simple interface, dims super bright displays far beyond what some OEM controls allow. Very effective. (XP Pro)

    Cons

    Closing the app does not restore screen to previous brightness.

    Interface is somewhat crude.

    Summary

    In low ambient light conditions, I like to be able to reduce the brightness of today's super bright monitors. This app does that quite well. When the ambient lighting conditions become brighter, I would like to return the screen to the previous higher brightness. With this app I have to move the slider.

    A keyboard command or On/Off button to toggle between two preset levels of brightness or just return to the previous level would be extremely convenient.

    Desktop Lighter is a huge step in the right direction.
