Hey guys, I just joined the forum not long ago. Since then I've found myself reading quite a bit during the night. My eyes used to get tired a lot during those hours because of the screen.
I recently found out about this program that warms up your screen colors. I find it incredible. Since I've started using it I couldn't go without it, especially since the background on here is white.
Here is the link to their website. http://stereopsis.com/flux/
It's wonderful if you're not doing anything like photo or video editing since it will kinda mess with the colors so they won't be accurate.
I suggest you guys give it a try. After a while, turn it off and see how much it will hurt your eyes. It's like turning on a lamp in the dark, I promise.
I currently have it set at 3000K and I find it ideal for use in the dark.
Anyways, here's a little description form their website. (I am in no way affiliated with them or anything, I just thought that I could share this with you guys who probably spend a lot of time reading the forums in the dark.)
"Ever notice how people texting at night have that eerie blue glow?
Or wake up ready to write down the Next Great Idea, and get blinded by your computer screen?
During the day, computer screens look good—they're designed to look like the sun. But, at 9PM, 10PM, or 3AM, you probably shouldn't be looking at the sun.
F.lux fixes this: it makes the color of your computer's display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day.
It's even possible that you're staying up too late because of your computer. You could use f.lux because it makes you sleep better, or you could just use it just because it makes your computer look better.
f.lux makes your computer screen look like the room you're in, all the time. When the sun sets, it makes your computer look like your indoor lights. In the morning, it makes things look like sunlight again.
Tell f.lux what kind of lighting you have, and where you live. Then forget about it. F.lux will do the rest, automatically."
Enjoy!
