Right-click on your desktop background and go to Display Settings. The dialog box that opens should have the screen brightness at the top. Adjust to preference.
The Power options under Control Panel have an option for reducing screen brightness.
Don't you have keys on your keyboard that will do this?
If you're using a laptop, there should be a key which, when pressed at the same time as the Fn key, will reduce the brightness.

If you're using a desktop with a separate monitor, there should be a button on it to reduce the brightness.

Alternatively, as has already been suggested, you can access the relevant setting via right-clicking on your desktop.

To check that your monitor is correctly set up, go here:

You need to ensure that all of the numbers, from 0 to 10, are visible on the bottom two lines, with the left hand end being pure black and the right hand end showing pure white.
PS: If you're still lost, please tell us the exact make and model of your laptop or of your standalone monitor.

What am I like? I've had this monitor a long time and didn't realise there are little buttons at the bottom of it. One says Eye Saver, so I pressed that and it's dimmed the screen. Thanks guys.
lol
There's nothing like being dim ;-)
