Is there a way/app(?) to increase screen brightness ABOVE 100% in Lollypop OS ?

I currently have a Moto X 1st generation phone, running KitKat. Screen brightness is great. But while playing with new Moto X 2nd gen in Verizon store, the screen brightness seems noticeably dimmer than my current phone. And yes, i tweaked all of the brightness settings, and made sure Auto Brightness was OFF. Is there any Android apps I can add that will allow me to boost the brightness ABOVE 100% ?

Hi,

the brightness of a screen is limited by the screen itself. It works like a bubble light: if it's a 40W, you can obtain the maximum of light with 40W. Putting more power will explode the bubble light. For your screen, you can't go above the "100% value" because your screen can't handle more power.
