Another Kruno's dumb question with technical answer thread

[K.I.L.E.R]

Will it damage my eyes if my monitor is too bright? How much is too bright?

I'm trying to minimise eye strain. I have my monitor eye level and high refreshrate and stuff and now I'm configuring brightness.

What level of brightness should I use?

I had one of those gamma testers but I'm not too sure if they're accurate. :/

Thanks

More brightness does not damage your eyes. It needs to be extremely bright for that to happen, far beyond what a monitor can deliver. Just set it to what feels comfortable and looks good.

I've found too high contrast to be tiresome
