Macos – turn down the screen brightness on the MacBook Pro any further

brightnessdisplaydisplay-settingsmacbook promacos

I sometimes use my MacBook Pro with all the lights off in the room. I turn the screen brightness down to its lowest setting (and turn off the automatic brightness adjustment), but it’s still a bit too bright when all the other lights are off.

Is there a hidden setting to get the screen brightness down any further?

Grab Shady and rejoice.

EDIT: As its documentation outlines, Shady 'fakes' a lower brightness setting by changing colours and overlaying a (software) grey filter on the display. As far as I know, there is no way to turn down the amount of light coming from the screen's LEDs, which I assume is a physical limitation of the hardware.
