"Reduces the brightness to values lower than the factory ones"
You can use blue light filter apps. Making the screen yellowish/ reddish

What about the colour profile options present in settings > display > live display > colour profile?? There are option to choose like eye1, eye2.... Please explain these options.

That option controls the phone display with different pre-adjusted settings if its too cold or too warm to you.
Like Eye1 -light yellowish to Eye8 - dark yellowish
You can edit it manually too, under color calibration/picture adjustments.

Is there any way or app to increase the range of
the backlight? I would like to be able to get it
dimmer in a darkish room. TIA

well, I already *knew* about that
What I want is to be able to gain *MORE* control over
the backlight. So to speak, if the present range is 0-100
I would like to be able to set it to -10 and +110 or
something like that.
I doubt that the minimum brightness or maximum brightness
available now is the absolute range limit the hardware
supports.
But I might be wrong

Hi,
When I go to settings to try to change the level of brightness, this is greyed out and cannot be selected.
I have tried tuning the auto brightness on/off but nothing doing.
I can however adjust brightness by swiping the top bar (the one with the time, battery etc on it).
Any ideas? Am I just missing something blindingly obvious?

If you are running out of battery you can not adjust brightness.
charge the battery and check it again.
Hey,
I'm running on CM7. Can the brightness on the phone be set lower than the slider-bar allows? I'm often inside dark rooms and would prefer the brightness to be at a lower level. I know the phone can be less bright, because when you turn Desk Clock mode on (from within the Clock App) it set the screen to a super-low brightness. I was wondering if I can have that brightness for normal use.
Thanks.
settings > cm settings > display > automatic backlight > use custom / edit other levels
not sure what settings would accomplish this, or if it is even possible - but those are the settings you are looking for.
I have -no- idea what the settings do, or how to enable it at all. I tried setting everything to the lowest it goes to (2) but it did nothing... Hmm.
Look for "screen filter" app in the market.

Won't this just set a "filter" on top of the screen, making it darker? It won't really affect the actual backlight, will it? I was hoping to both make the screen darker, and save a bit of battery. Don't know how screen work, just what I think is happening.
According to the description and some users it saves battery on amoled screens...but I haven't tested it...you could be right.

I believe the effect in the desk clock is essentially the same as Screen Filter. It just darkens it. Just like Desk Clock on the Captivate, evident because the status bar stays the same brightness but the clock lowers. That's why the CM7 app makes the status bar disappear, so the app can darken itself and you won't notice it's darker because it doesn't affect the system and the status bar would have stayed the same brightness. Screen filter is a wonderful option. I had it to "hold menu button" in CM7 settings.

I don't think AMOLED screens have a backlight, that's why they're LED and not LCD.
I have the same problem: at night, the screen is too bright. Cyanogen has an option to only display one of the 3 primary colors, so you can turn on only the red subpixels. Sure, you are left with a monochrome screen, but it is dim and uses less power.
Hi there, most people are having yellowish tint (mostly on EBBG variant of display) on display which makes the screen look bad. Here's how you can fix it
In MIUI:
Go to Settings > Colors and saturation > Set temperature to cool
In other custom roms:
Go to Settings > Live Display > Color Calibration
Set red and green to 96% each , leave blue to 100%
That's it, Enjoy
Explanation : The RGB value of yellow is 255,255,0
So the more you'll decrease the value of red and green(together), the more yellowish tint of your display would vanish

So when you're outdoors, even if it's overcast there's no way to slide the brightness down (It auto-snaps to full brightness) even though it's not needed.
I have situations where i could easily use half brightness but my phone forces auto max light
YES, I know i can disable auto brightness completely, but that would not be convenient.
Any fix for this?
I use an app called Lux. Tons of options with it.

It doesn't actually lower the brightness some sort of overlay , no?

Hmmmm, Im not sure how it works but it does have an auto mode which you can tweak on the fly.
I have noticed that also. It also jacks up the contrast to make it easier to see.
It makes pics you took look terrible when viewing them outside. I had to learn to NOT delete them until I check them indoors. I assumed some pics I took were crap at first, but it was just the jacked screen contrast that made them look bad.
On my S9+ in bright sunlight it happens that not only something happens to the contrast and colors (eg. reds become somewhat pinkish) but also black elements on screen start flickering/smudging while scrolling. It looks like the device turns into some sort of brightness boost mode.
Does anyone else experience anything like that?

That's exactly what happens to me. Also if you slide the screen you can see how it the colors are totally distorted.

Check out the screenshot. There's an option to enable brightness slider in the notification bar. Becomes easier to adjust brightness just by sliding down the notification bar.

Did you read what the problem is? outdoors it snaps to max no matter what. (Unless not in auto mode)
Any solution for this problem?
Turn off auto brightness when outdoors..
Guys I've noticed that even if you turn off auto brightness go out in the sun and turn the screen up to max manually,it will kick up into super brightness mode or shine a led light at the sensor when indoors simulating the sun,just like it does with auto brightness on.sammy really want us to get burn in I think so we have to buy new screens all the time?

Never had a screen burn in on a Samsung phone. Don't worry
Guys, idk if this is a S10 only feature (or Android Pie), but when I'm on that situation, if I lower the brightness slider and leave it there for a second or two, the brightness will actually stay down and not jump back up again. Worth a try.

After the S9+'s update to Pie some of the old settings get copied to the new OS, but if you don't go into the settings and check, things might not be configured correctly - I had to choose a different setting and then choose again what was previously selected to ensure that it was written into the Settings correctly.
With the new update the "Automatic Brightness" applies to the AOD - see here in this screenshot, my search of the Settings for the word "auto brightness", see what comes up in attachment #1.
What you need to do is go to the "Adaptive Brightness" and turn it on, then manually adjust your brightness under a few different conditions (EG: Indoors lights off, outside and overcast, and bright sunny day). Now your phone will understand what setting you want for different conditions and automatically adjust the brightness based on lighting conditions, see attachment #2.
The "auto brightness" is now used for the AOD, and has nothing to do with brightness when unlocked. The reason it "auto snaps to full brightness" is likely because previous settings were just copied over after the update and you haven't setup (and trained) the new "Adaptive Brightness" for various light levels. The AOD has both "Auto Brightness" and double-tap the clock to adjust AOD brightness.
