This seems highly unlikely if your brightness isn't completely off. What cd/m2 are you at? I'm on a Eizo CG277 with built-in hardware self calibration. It's set to 120 cd/m2 and I have hard time thinking it could be painful to anyone. I much prefer #000 on #fff over lower contrast alternatives.
- kuschku 4y agoThe DIN norms set 150cd/m² as absolute minimum. In a well-lit office you’ll want 400cd/m² as standard setting for #ffffff At the same time, #000000 may not be above 2 cd/m² at the absolute most if a pure black and a pure white pixel are shown right next to each other.
- mikae1 4y agoIn pre-press and photography we're used to ISO 3664:2009[0] which I believe establishes whitepoint brightness level between 80 and 120 cd/m2. It should be added that it requires isolation from daylight and ambient illumination level near 80 lux (and a good monitor)... But even at 150 cd/m2 in a room with controlled amounts of daylight, you should not be blinded by #000 on #fff. [0] https://www.iso.org/standard/43234.html https://www.iso.org/standard/43234.html
