Anyone feel the same as me, the PlayBook Screen is too Bright
at Lowest when not at Auto Dimming Mode ..?
Anyway to have it lower than current lowest...?
Excellent idea. I agree. I'd like to be able switch to a lower scale of brightness (but keep the high brightness for outdoors). And this should also extend the battery life.
The screen brightness does help me fall asleep though. I put on a TV stream and the brightness will just will my eyes shut. I wish there were some sort of sleep function timer on the Playbook. App idea perhaps?
When I'm reading in a completely dark room, on the lowest setting and with auto-dim set, I find it's still too bright at first.
My eyes adjust quickly and I forget about it, but I'd be fine with a lower setting if it lowered the battery drain, which it would (since the screen is the single biggest drain on battery in this device).
Not a big deal though, since I never do this for long... I don't think it's very good for the eyes!
Reading in a completely dark room is bad for your eyes. You should always have some background lighting on. This will adjust your eyes to let less light in, making the PB seem dimmer.
One thing I would like to change is the auto gain of the brightness when alight shines near it. It then gets super bright even if I do not want it.
Also have two different models and one screen is yellower than the other. I would love a way to adjust color temperature settings
It's a very simple matter to alter the brightness of the screen. Usually I have the brightness at zero ... but while watching videos or looking at pictures, I'll increase the brightness to whatever is appropriate.
OP I agree 100% I don't understand why this inst a bigger issue for more people. What makes it worse is that it would be so easy to implement a "fix". In the meantime, anyone know of an app we can use to reduce the brightness? It looks ridiculous, but right now I use a post-it to block the sensor and trick it into staying at the lowest setting.
Haha, I am doing the same things. So I can
Have lower brightness.

Sometimes I would like it darker, like when I'm in my car in the dark. Even at the lowest settings, it's more than needed. I've thought about cutting a small piece of window tint that I could slap on as needed.
EDIT: Are people really having that much trouble comprehending the concept that we are aware of the settings options, but they do not provide enough of a range??? I just keep thinking of this:
