Bug Description
I know there is a keyboard shortcut for this but not every user knows about it.
Adding a brightness slider for the display/monitor just as in the plug itself would be very nice.

In later version particularly Brightness need 3 clicks to be accessed.
And a 4th to modify it to the desired value
And a 5th to close the window eventually.
I believe brightness is a feature you wish to change as easily as sound volume:
WHen you start in the morning you want it low
As the light rise up you need it brighter
Proposed feature :
Have a slider for brightness in the top right "Power/battery" icon menu
This slider will be pretty much like the volume slider in sound menu
BONUS:
A check box enables "auto".
This feature will take a snapshot using your camera and give an ambiant brigthness level. This snapshot will be taken when the user moves the cursor to calibrat what the user wants. Then every 30 minutes a new snapshot is taken and the light is adapted automatically.
= pretty much like on cell phones auto bright (with the light sensor)
