DimScreen

Depending on the level of ambient lighting, your display may sometimes be a bit too bright, but playing around with the monitor’s settings isn’t exactly convenient, especially if you need to perform adjustments very often.

DimScreen is a very simple program that provides you with a quick way to reduce the brightness of your screen whenever necessary. It runs in the system tray and allows you to dim all of your displays using hotkeys or a handy context menu.

It goes without saying that this isn’t a very complex application, but it can be a great choice for users who are only looking for a simple way to dim their display without having to modify their device’s brightness settings manually.

It is important to note that DimScreen even works with multiple monitors, enabling you to dim the brightness of every connected device at once.

Once the application is installed, you will be able to access it via a system tray icon. A simple menu is brought up when clicking it, allowing you to dim the screen by a certain amount or reset it to its default state.

Moreover, DimScreen enables you to perform these actions via hotkeys by pressing CTRL and the Plus or Minus keys on your Numpad. However, these key combinations cannot be changed or disabled.

Many will likely appreciate the fact that this application is very simple to deploy and use, but it is worth keeping in mind that no advanced features are available.

It would be great if users had the option to disable the OSD when modifying the brightness level, as well as change the default hotkeys, which may already be used for something else.

On the whole, however, DimScreen offers a simple solution to a common issue, and it does so without complicating matters for no reason. It may not offer more advanced features, but it gets the job done.
