Microsoft used to distribute a set of utilities under the name
Powertoys.  One of them allowed realtime adjustment of the display
characteristics.  I've forgotten its name, but it's built into Win98
(at least the version on my computer).  Powertoys was free (and may
still be--I haven't checked lately).
