Acting on a tip from an HN user on a similar thread this year, I ordered these blue light blocking glasses[1] for only $10.
If you can get past the goofy look (perhaps a bit more problematic at work than at home), they work great, and obviously they work with any device.

- jwdunne 11y agoNot just goofy. Most people in the UK would associate glasses like that with ali G: http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/deedfyOGpiI8a2UWYdSCFLjbXVF.jpg http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/deedfyOGpiI8a2UWYdSCFLjbX... In all seriousness, how do they affect colour? If you're working on a front-end web project or design, could these be problematic?
- veidr 11y agoHa ha, Ali G! But yeah, these glasses completely distort color perception -- much more suitable for coding or reading than any kind of visual design work.
- stefantalpalaru 11y agoIf you care about color, you need to generate color profiles for different color temperatures and load them depending on the sun's position. I automated the loading part on Linux with this: https://github.com/stefantalpalaru/iccloader https://github.com/stefantalpalaru/iccloader
- nshepperd 11y agoI took an online colorblindness test while wearing my set, and got a diagnosis of tritanopia. So, maybe wear them if you want to simulate colorblindness for accessibility reasons, otherwise not when you're doing color-sensitive design!
