Display DJ

More often than not, preference dictates one's brightness levels on their displays. While some users may prefer to dim things down a bit, other people might want to up the brightness closer to its maximum levels. Due to how light interacts with displays, however, brightness levels are hardly a set-and-forget affair: some users, for instance, constantly change their monitor's brightness throughout the day.

Changing the brightness of your monitor requires using the physical controls, which can be a bit uncomfortable. Through a tool like Display DJ, all of that is handled via the tray, where full control over your displays is at your fingertips.

As the tool was created to grant users the convenience of modifying their brightness levels from the tray, the tool is straightforward to use. The program automatically starts upon completing the installation, which won't take more than a minute — at worst — for anyone.

After that, you'll be able to tweak your brightness levels to your liking. If you have a multi-monitor setup, know that you can change the brightness across all of your displays at once, but you can also do so individually, setting different values for each screen. You can also set names for your screens to have an easier time recognizing them.

Toggling between Light and Dark mode on your Windows machine is also possible, and the change is near-instantaneous. The same can't be said about modifying the brightness, however, as it is handled with a bit of a delay. Unless you constantly move those sliders back and forth, you will hardly notice it.

Display DJ delivers a much-needed quality-of-life function straight to your tray: not only is it cross-platform, supporting both Mac and Windows machines, but it is also easily accessible to anyone, owing to its relative simplicity.
