Best to controlls any screen dimmer, but limited to the same controls of hardware offers
On my computer using Windows 10 he had several problems. Each time the icon appeared and I was able to click on it to see the current brightness. However, there were rare times when I was able to change the value. And when it happened there was a delay of 2 seconds. So, thinking it was a program error, I restarted it, but it never fully worked for me. For others it may work, but on my normal windows 10 it was not very compatible I don't know why.
Support for some displays that are not supported by other software; HEY! THE UI HAS A LITTLE BUG!
Works excellent, not only for adjusting brightness! If your monitor supports it, you can also adjust its contrast, speaker volume .. and even turn off the monitor entirely.
Recent updates and functional. Easy to use and nice UI.
It simple and clean, works like a charm and it's open source
