Any desktop monitors with adaptive brightness?

[hdd113]

I often work quite late into the night.

In my best effort to keep my biorhythm, I usually turn off the other lights in my room and only keep the display and the desk lamp, which is turned down to minimum brightness.

The problem is that my monitor still feels too bright at times, and I wish I could turn it down just a little more. I know I could just do it manually, but I wish there was a way to automate this.

Are there any manufacturers that make monitors that have a brightness sensor, or work with Windows adaptive brightness feature?

Plenty of "Night Mode" programs exist where you can set times...

^Don't know of any offhand.

 

Semi-Automated work? - Like hotkeys between two options?

A Slider to manually set quickly on the fly?

Or have a look here where I got these 2 examples from.

a software called flux gives more options.

 

or you can try some monitors with eye care

 

or glasses that block blue light.

Windows 10 already has this feature, it is called Night Light.

You can turn it on or off from the Action Center, and configure it in the Settings panel (auto-turn on/off based on time of day, and adjust the intensity).

I'm already using it, but it's still not dark enough in my situation... therefore I'm looking for a way to actually turn down the backlight

Dell has a display manager which lets you quickly adjust the brightness and contrast with a slider on Windows, but I was just wondering if there was a more polished solution. I also use a Spyder calibrator with room light adjustment. It's just a display profile though and doesn't actually turn down the backlight, so it doesn't seem to help a lot in my situation.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work (the brightness) on desktop monitors; at least not on mine...

It's Dell U2718Q connected through DP.

Night light works, but the brightness works only on the laptop display.

That is correct. Brightness slider in Windows only works for laptop displays.

 

So from my understanding, your screen minimum brightness is too bright for you (not related to biorhythm). Sadly, there isn't much we can do. You can open your Nvidia Control Panel (or AMD, but not sure where it is), and you can play with some brightness/contract sliders (under "Adjust desktop color settings" in case of Nvidia graphics cards), but the backlight of the LCD panel will remain at the same brightness, you are just trying to block light passing by making the screen darker, but that is it.
