Dark/black background colourschemes look awesome and you can massively reduce the strain on your eyes. I am planning on grabbing an OLED for my next monitor.
If you code in low or no light environments then I would certainly rank OLED as an important factor. If however your work occurs in brightly lit spaces (outside / horrid offices) then you will be wanting a white screen anyway and it makes no difference.
Of course, always consider having multiple monitors and raising the size of the text - this is often much better at reducing strain than the extra play an OLED will give with light levels.
- I am not a doctor and am in no way qualified to give the above advice. I have programmed for roughly a week on an OLED that wasn't mine
- nextos 10y agoExactly. I have always thought that short of having a e-ink screen like Dasung (which is a bit buggy and requires a driver not available for Linux/BSD), OLED could be great on black background as no light would be emitted. Any reasonably priced OLED screens for a desktop?
- Normal_gaussian 10y agoNot really. If you can justify it under being a designer of some sort it becomes simply expensive instead of unreasonable. As for e-ink, this is the dream. I want to sit out on the lawn working and as far as I can tell e-ink is the way towards this.
- nextos 10y agoDasung is pretty good for eink. But I'm waiting till someone releases a version that uses it's own firmware and not a buggy driver.
