$ amdcccle

If you're using the fglrx drivers. xcalibs and xrandr if you're not to adjust brightness / gamma.

$ xrandr --output HDMI1 --brightness 0.8:0.8:0.8 --gamma 1:1:1

to restore

$ xrandr --output HDMI1 --brightness 1:1:1 --gamma 1:1:1

to know the name of your display(s) ... HDMI1 in my case...

$ xrandr

On my intel gpu, I can echo a value to /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

Also bear in mind that the display probably has a few buttons as well.
