Hi there Esther,
I downloaded, and it loaded itself, Brightness Control.
So far, it works perfectly. I can finally reduce the brightness of my I Mac.
Thanks a bunch. There is also an app in the app store, I forget it's name, for
$2.95 that has a 4.5 rating. I'll stick to the freebee for now.
Hello Esther and list,
Thanks for shedding a little more or less light on this subject! Grinnn!
Actually, all joking aside, this information really is interesting. Over
several years and on a number of lists, the thing about controlling screen
brightness and things like the screen curtain
Hi Dan, Tom, Ricardo, and Others,
OK, here's the results about iMac screen brightness for all the inquiring minds
that want to know. Apparently, the level of screen brightness is, indeed,
characteristic of the iMac backlight, and not a property of Macbooks. I did
some Google searching, and th
Another comment regarding screen curtain on my 27 inch iMac late 2010. Both my
wife and son said that when the screen curtain is on, the screen is still lit
and there is a cursor on the screen. Again, this is a brightness setting of 0.
HTH.

Hello Esther,
This is true. I just had my son look at my MBP at 0 brightness and he said the
screen was notat all visible.

Hi there Esther,,
I have an I Mac with a normal Apple wireless keyboard. Whether I'm in the
Display control panel and turn the brightness to zero, or move up and down the
brightness scale with F14 and F15, nothing seems to happen.
The screen curtain works fine turning my screen totally dark.
Hi Dan and Others,
I've never checked display brightness with an iMac screen. On all the Mac
laptop screens I've used, setting screen brightness to 0 seems to have the same
effect as turning on the screen curtain. That's why I asked whether this was
an iMac and what the display settings were
Hi Esther,
This had me scratching my head as well. I think this might be do to the
computers we are using. I believe you and I are using macbooks, and the ones
who are having the this behavior seem to be using iMacs. On the macbooks,
turning screen brightness down to 0% effectively turns off
Hello,
When the screen brightness is set to 0, my family can still use the iMac's
screen without any problems what so ever.

Hi John and Tom,
Are you sure that you're using the appropriate keyboard shortcut? On my
Macbook Pro, where I have checked the box for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as
standard function keys" on the "Keyboard" tab of the "Keyboard" menu under
"System Preferences", using the Fn+F1 key to lower the
Wow! I quite aggree with your need to dim the screen even further than it
currently allows. I've resorted to the screen curtain (shift vo f11), though
that's not really the answer.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi all,
Even at zero percent the screen is too bright for me to see maps on Google . Is
there any way to dial down the brightness even further? It may be limited
because screens are now LEDs and not CRTs.

Hi,
Why not just leave it at 0%, and then when a person needs to see the screen,
just press function F2 to brighten to the persons desired level. Then, just
press Function F1 to lower brightness back to 0%?

Hi again all,
For those of you who choose to dial your brightness down on your Mac, but who
choose to have it bright enough to be able to be adequately viewed, should you
need it via sighted assistance, I'm told it's still perfectly fine at 10 to 15%
brightness. Just thought I'd share that obse
