One of those devices. :-(

I console myself thinking that this may technically count as a bug in your device. There are no warnings in the Android docs that setting too low a brightness for a window may turn off the device. The API docs for LayoutParams.screenBrightness say: "This can be used to override the user's preferred brightness of the screen. A value of less than 0, the default, means to use the preferred screen brightness. 0 to 1 adjusts the brightness from dark to full bright." There is no warning here that using a value of 0.075 or lower will turn off the screen entirely.

I suppose if someone with a device like that wanted to use ScreenDim, they'd (a) use the "minimum brightness" option in ScreenDim's menu to set the minimum brightness at 7.8%, and (b) use the contrast slider for effective adjustments below 7.8%. But using ScreenFilter is cheaper. :-)
