Adrian,
If you are aiming for a low luminance, lower than your display can do at its minimum, then your choices are limited. You could look into ColorEyes Display Pro. It's the only software system I know of that lets you enter your aim luminance and it will adjust the luminance in the video card if necessary in addition to the hardware controls. Another option is to increase your ambient light so that your display does not have to be so low.
