Software for darkening the brightness of the display? (Windows 7)

Hello,

My display brightness is too bright, and I'm having a hard time finding a way to darken it. I just installed Windows 7 32bit, as well as the latest NVIDIA driver for my NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra graphics card, but after checking the NVIDIA site and communicating with their support through e-mail, I've confirmed that there's no NVIDIA Control Panel setting for Brightness when using a GeForce Fx 5 series card with Windows 7. My monitor itself is set to the minimum Brightness, 0, but that's never enough, as my screen is still extremely bright.

I was wondering if anyone knows of some sort of *software* for decreasing the brightness. I tried Googling it, but it seems difficult to pinpoint what I'm after in a search. I've only thus far found one program that, unfortunately, began at the current brightness level and can only go UP, not down.

Thanks!
 
Yeah, the way my eyes have been surviving over the course of the past 2 days is that I lowered the Green, Red, and Blue to only about 10 each, resulting in a sort of gray, because at least that makes things appear less bright, but, as a graphic artist who uses Photoshop, I only expect this to be a temporary work-around until I find display-darkening software. To balance the gray a bit, the Contrast is actually increased as far as it can go via monitor and Win7.
 
give em a whirl and feed back if they are any good.

If the monitor setting isn't enough and if there isn't an nvidia utility, it seems that they ware your best bet, so no harm in trying
 
Really this is more to do with the features of a particular monitor over software. If you have a monitor that supports TFT, IPS, Color Sync, and so forth you can generally tweak it to how you want. These are typically used by graphic artists and video people, and are not cheap.
