Given that I'm 49, this feels like being carded at 7-11.
I think the difference is screen resolution and intensity. I could sit at an old green screen for hours with no retina bleach. But jwz's site, even with the same color scheme, feels so much more intense than the screens of yore.
- mixmastamyk 13y agoMost LCD's today produce extreme amounts of light. I usually run mine at ~50% brightness during the day and 0% at night.

- nitrogen 13y agof.lux definitely helps, but it'd be awesome if all monitors adopted a standard protocol (perhaps something over HDMI-CEC) for controlling backlight brightness as well. Sometimes it's not quite enough just to turn down the blue.
- aestra 13y agoMy TV (which I use for a monitor) has a light sensor on it which automatically adjusts the brightness based on the amount of light in the room. It's smart, more screens should do this. Phones do it too. I prefer my screens very dark at all times though so I turn it off and just keep the brightness to low all the time. I have really sensitive eyes, I can't go outside without sunglasses, even when its cloudy.
- ashmud 13y agoCombine that with discontinuing PWM controlled brightness. Some monitors can flicker badly, especially while warming up. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/pulse_width_modulation.htm http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/pulse_width_modulation....
- vacri 13y agoThere's a lot of cyan on the site, which I think is a significant part of the difference. Eesh, which reminded me of some MUDs where they went crazy with the colours; cyan and magenta nightmares they were.
