Changing the brightness of iMac screen

[gabrielleitao]

Hi,

I have a 20" iMac and I was wondering... if it is possible to change the brightness to less than the minimal configuration... I use the keyboard keys: F14 amd F15... On my PC Desktop, I have a crappy 17" CRT Monitor... which I can change the contrast to even not see any light anymore... Can I do the same with a Mac?

Is there a software that I can download or buy to change the brightness and other stuff of my monitor... like shutting it down and changing the brightness and contrast... like a Monitor monitor software...

Thanks for the help.

Try this:

It won't shut the monitor down, but it will dim it to black.
No contrast either, but you should look at the color profiles under displays (Press the "calibrate button, and you can change a lot..)

Thanks a bunch, Eric!!! This software really rocks... and turning my monitor to all black is like shutting it down after I change the brightness of my Monitor to the mininum on the regular Mac configuration, it works a little. Anyway, thanks.
