I have a Dell 2405fpw monitor which is 24" that I bought two weeks ago.
Of course, I would like to mod it because obviously the lowest brightness setting of the backlight is bright enough to be completely unusable in low light environments. I have high contrast everything for extended reading and design, and the black of the monitor is actually grey because the backlight is so strong even on its lowest setting .
so I still have a luscious wonderful ancient beautiful 22" CRT beside it, which I still use most of the time
.
The plan is simple, open it up, find the wire going on to the backlight, and place a resistor on it to get the voltage under control . else I could use a better pot with a wider range .
What should I know to do this, how easy would it be?

You'll have to put the resistor before the backlight ciruit, and also need to know how much current to determine the wattage of the resistor. I can't ell you exactly because I have no idea, but I'm sure someone knows how.
