I set my (22-24in) desktop monitors in portrait mode and raise the screen metrics to 150-225 (logical) DPI so I can set the monitor at the ergonomical recommended arm's length viewing distance and avoid eye strain over long distances.
I agree that most people set their screen brightness too high for proper indoor use. Many never bother to adjust from the factory settings which are meant for showroom demos. First thing I do with phones and tablets is take them to minimum and then slowly raise it to a decent contrast. That rarely is even close to half brightness,much less full which is rarely needed even out doors. Maybe at high noon on a sunny day.
(Right now my Fire tablet is running at a bit under 20% of max.)
