This is one area that really grinds my gears: the trend in UI design to reduce contrast because full black on full white text is too contrasty. Whatever minor improvement in readability on their quality 3000:1 contrast ratio monitor pales in comparison to the loss in readability on a 200:1 trash TN display.
Even on a good display at low brightness low contrast design choices can be infuriating (e.g. phone at min brightness in pitch dark room)
- Mezzie 5y agoI honestly don't get why we just don't have options. That's what we did back in the Dark Ages for things like resolutions. Let people set whether they want high or low contrast. I also feel this re: dark and light modes, as somebody whose astigmatism makes dark mode LESS usable than light mode. I get it, dark mode is awesome for most people. Please don't make it mandatory.
