Does your monitor not have a suitable brightness control?

Oh, probably it does.  Some kind of rocker buttons and other buttons
on the back.  Not even a power button on the front.  Newish 24" LCD and
I must still have the manual somewhere but dicking around with the
buttons was too much trouble when it pretty well worked out of the
box.

If there's a software way to manage the monitor, I don't know about
it.

Yes, I do tell xpdf to use a dimgrey "papercolor". xpdf-3.04 (used
because  it can print w/lprng) complains:

Config Error: Unknown config file command 'paperColor' (/home/mds/.xpdfrc:23)

but does it anyway. xpdf version 4.03 doesn't complain.
