Adjusing brightness is always possible,although I advise to get a monitor with a higher resolution. 1920 x 1080 is not optimal for text because there are not enough pixels to display smaller fonts sharp enough. Small fonts appear pixelated. 2560x1440 gives you a much clearer and sharper text. This monitor does cost a bit more, but text is much sharper on it.

Yes, there are brightness options.
