> A better remedy for eye strain would be to enable night light on your operating system, which will reduce the your screen’s blue light output.

When I got my current Android phone (a year and a half ago), I was so confused as to why my screen got a blue hue at night. After finding out what it was, I figure it would be good to leave on, and I even set it up on my Ubuntu machine. Holy cow do I depend on it now. If I look at a screen late in the day without a blue light filter, I notice a serious difference. I don't know if I've just gotten used to the blue light filter, or if it really is helpful, but I've become a dedicated fan.




I also have it enabled on my phone and laptops constantly. I also turn down the brightness quite a bit. It always looks wrong for the first few moments, and then it looks perfectly normal. Just like wearing tinted glasses.
