On: Dark mode is not as good for your eyes as you beli...

This, exactly this. Bright white pages are physically painful to me.

Exercize is too. But it's worth it for the fewer health issues.

Perhaps a light mode is like exercize for the eyes?

And it gets better with a more balanced light around the room as well (since sitting in a darkened room will obviously make a light screen painful).

Screen brightness is adjustable, and there are utilities for both windows and macs to adjust most external screens from your task bar.

It shouldn't be brighter than a piece of paper in the same location.

oh thanks wasn't aware I could adjust my screen brightness

I say this with no ill intent, but if a simple white screen is "physically painful", it's clear that the screen brightness hasn't been changed. It may even still be in the store demo mode, which is going to be even worse.
