Brightness is a selling point these days. But every time I use a display I turn down the brightness (sometimes down to 10). Bright displays are nice for games and watching movies, but (IMHO) not for programming or watching all day.
I wondered if there are reflective displays available (like E Ink) so I looked around. But I can't find any of a decent size (20" and above) or a decent response time.
Does anyone know if there are decent size reflective (LCD) displays available? And why aren't they more popular?
I don't know much about reflective displays but I use an app called f.lux which adjusts the color on your display based on the time of day. Now I can hack away all night with no eye strain!
Until you find such a display, I recommend you look into platform's accessibility options and invert the colors instead of messing with brightness. Google "black on white" for Mac or "invert colors" for Windows / Linux instructions.
