Yes, off-topic, but in a nice way.

My experience is also that something below the highest contrast
is much easier on the eyes.  My most recent discovery in this
space is http://stereopsis.com/flux/.  It is a free app that takes
the blue out of your screen when the sun sets.  So if you decide
to open your laptop at night, that blazing while will have made
way for a yellowish screen.  I find this extremely pleasant.  If I
now switch back to full white late at night, I have the feeling
my eyes are burned away.
