Colours/Brightness on USB monitor AOC e1649Fwu

I can confirm as of today that Screenbright doesn't detect any compatible monitors.

However, I did find another alternative: http://www.pangobright.com/

I'm using this until I find another solution. This little utility is kind of "cheating" in the sense that it appears to be putting a mask over the monitor of choice that filters the color scheme making it appear to lower the brightness. However the monitor is most likely pulling as much power as before. This can be seen by just looking at the mouse cursor. The cursor doesn't change brightness but the rest of the screen "does."

Hope this helps others in the future purchasing this monitor.
