Windows 7 Is there a better brightness control than PangoBright?

I use Pangobright because the brightness of my Toshiba laptop doesn't go as low as I want it to be, when I'm using the laptop in complete darkness. But Pangobright also doesn't seem to go as low as possible, and when I dim it too low, I can't see a part of the screen unless I'm looking down at the screen. Is there a better screen dimming software?

I'm curious to know how someone could read a darker screen, when they are currently having issues reading from a dark screen. Makes me wonder if the application controls pixel color pitch as well as monitor back-lighting.

Depending on your laptop, you should have availability to your video card, and they have control for brightness.
