18-year-old built a computer monitor that doesn't strain your eyes
You don't need a fancy monitor to not strain your eyes.  You know you need?  <i>Lower brightness</i> or <i>more ambient light</i>.<p>This is something I've been saying for ages.  Some time in the last 10 years or so, it seems we decided as a collective that screens should be SUPER BRIGHT, and now half the tech crowded uses dark mode.<p>If you "just like dark mode", that's fine.  But if you avoid light mode because it hurts your eyes, then your brightness is too high or you don't have enough ambient light.<p>I sit at my computer 12-16 hours a day.  Yes, I know, it's pretty unhealthy.  But I have <i>never</i> felt eye strain.  Even after getting LASIK and my eyes were a little more sensitive to light, I could stare at my screen all day after the first day.
