Just giving my two cents, I believe setting it to 1 would be a nice compromise.
I noticed on every laptop I've ever used that Linux usually makes the screen go
much darker than Windows, even on LCDs. While being able to get the screen very
dim is a nice thing, it means Windows is probably limiting the minimum
brightness too. From my experience, it looks like it's limited to 5% on Windows
(which I think is not dark enough in some situations). 1% is probably dark
enough for any kind of screen, including LCDs and OLEDs, and would probably
avoid any problems with other screen technologies in the future.
