A free utility so simple and useful you have to wonder why it's not shipped with every Mac

But there is one problem: you can't easily adjust display brightness. On my Westinghouse monitor, you have to find a button on the back of the monitor, hit a few menu items, and then toggle another set of buttons (also on the back of the screen) to adjust brightness.

For my wife's Roku TV, it's possible to control brightness by hitting the menu button on the Roku remote. But it's not possible to control brightness based on input.

Introducing MonitorControl Lite
Fortunately, there's a free app in the Mac App Store that completely solves the problem. It's called MonitorControl Lite.
It lives up on your menu bar, and lets you control all the monitors on your system.

The bottom-line is simple. This app is worth considerably more than you have to pay to get it. It does the job; it makes dimming convenient and flexible. It's an ideal example of some of the small utilities available for Macs that very much enhance the user experience.
