Description
Is your minimum screen brightness still too bright? Dim your screen below what your device normally permits for comfortable use in darker environments, reading in bed, amateur astronomy, etc.! No root required.Save your five favorite brightness and contrast settings as a preset, and get it back by touching a single button or by a Launcher shortcut (ScreenDim also provides a Launcher shortcut to cycle through the presets, and another Launcher shortcut to disable it).
ScreenDim also creates a notification item in your status bar so you can easily go back to it to adjust settings.
ScreenDim is the first dimmer that can both adjust backlight brightness below what the system normally permits on many LCD devices and dim the contrast. Some dimmers only filter and lower the contrast, which keeps the black areas unchanged and glowing gray on LCD devices when in the dark and doesn't save battery life (and at least one does it in a way that slows down 2D screen performance by about 30% in my testing). Many other dimmers only change the backlight within the range normally allowed by the OS.
I recommend you install ScreenDim Trial prior to purchasing the Full version to try it out for three days to ensure full compatibility with your device.
If you have any problems with ScreenDim, email arpruss@gmail.com before leaving poor feedback. There is a lot of variation in how different devices handle screen brightness, and I may be able to adjust ScreenDim to work better for you.
Note 1: On OLED devices, there is no backlight, so all adjustment is contrast-adjustment.
Note 2: If you set ScreenDim too dark for you to see the screen, you can recover by adjusting brightness with the volume buttons while in ScreenDim, or by tapping where the brightness adjust should be on the screen if you don't have volume buttons, or by rebooting your device (on many devices this is done by holding the power button for up to ten seconds to turn the device off and then by turning on the device).

No need to return nexus 7 You saved me the hassle of returning it. I was having real problem with screen flicker on low setting. Once I installed your app and really turned down brightness the flicker went away. Thanks

Great! I use my tablets to read textbooks for school. Reading for hours on a bright screen means red watery eyes but most e ink readers don't display PDF books with graphics well. Thank you!

Great I used Screen Filter for a long time on my XPeria X8, and enjoyed it a lot, specially the integration with Tasker. But with my Samsung Galaxy Ace, Screen Filter gave the screen a greenish/grayesh tint, not pleasant for the eyes. ··························································································································The Galaxy Ace has no light sensor and a very bright screen, and only ScreenDim allowed me to control brightness AND contrast and finally achieve a good, dark sc

New Version works great on Nexus 7 Previous version had some issues in the N7, but the developer quickly squashed the incompatibilities. Now I can finally read at night on my N7 without being blinded!

Works on Nexus 7 With 0.4% and contrast at 25.1%, this SuperDim setting is great for reading in the dark and dimmer than NookColor with RootDim. Not sure it's saving more battery than RootDim, but I'm not rooting yet.
