Whosoever owns a laptop adjusts the screen brightness according to how they like it. Many people prefer a little dull so that its does not have an adverse effect on their eyes. However some people like it bright, a little too bright to sometimes. Does too much brightness effect the life or quality of the screen?
Does making your screen bright reduce its life or effect the quality?

Well, I prefer mine to be dull in order to conserve the battery. But, I really don't think it would have an adverse effect on the screen of the laptop if you have it to be very bright. Although, sometimes when I'm typing in the dark, I'd increase the brightness to illuminate the keyboards.
How much of a difference in battery life you see also depends on your usage. If you're a power user, lowering the brightness setting can get you a good two hours of extra battery life, but if you don't use your phone that much you won't really see a big difference. If you don't feel like futzing about with your phone's brightness settings, you can automate the process on Android with Tasker, or on a jailbroken iPhone with SBSettings. An even easier solution is to use darker wallpapers and themes. While we've known for a while that lowering the brightness on your devices extends the battery life, it's nice to know just how much it can save you over time.
