In reply to Andrés. Match the brightness to the room lighting The screen shouldn't look like a light source but like a book matching the room lighting

In reply to zach S.

The default settings in Iris during the day is 5000K
The point is that during the day you don’t need to remove all blue light but it’s good to slightly improve the contrast with 5000K as a color temperature

Im confused, there is suggestions on here to use low as possible during the day from computer monitors, but isnt it best to use 5000k or more during the day and then tapper to 2k evening before bed for circadian rhythm and melatonin production?
i use 4900k on computer during day in office of fluorescents. in the morning i use 10000 lux light therapy before work. outside at lunch but its not possible 6 months per year especially in Portland Or.

Hello Iris,
Which brightness level do you recommend for the day and night?

I really enjoyed this article.

In reply to Arshad. Hi Arshad, it truly depends on your needs and environment at the time If you look at your monitor from afar and it looks like a light source in the room then it's too bright

In reply to LNB Murali Manoharan. Hi Im using Twilight app in my mobile. I have setting of 3000k both during Day(mostly under lights at office) and night with Intensity 54% and dim 40%. Is it good? Or should I reduce setting for night?

In reply to Aditya.

I prefer (and think it’s better) to use a dark background rather than a white one (especially at night) because it just gives you less eye strain 🙂

And yes, it is okay to use your screen at 500K 🙂

Hello Mr.Daniel,
Is it ok to use 500K screen?
Also which one is better — Black Letters with White Background (OR) White Letters with Black Background?

Thanks,
Aditya

In reply to swagath uday shetty.

1900k is probably the most optimal resolution, meaning it’s both great for your eyes and it preserves some of the colors

You can keep usiing 1200k, yes 🙂

In reply to Timothy. I use a dark theme (more like grey) and lighter font color and highlights, you can do that or the reverse, which is white (light) background and darker syntax so that they contrast and you can see better. Also, avoid colors that are blue or close to blue (like purple) because when you remove the blue from them, well they became harder to spot :)

Hi, I was wondering what it the best color theme to have coupled with my color temperature set at 1900(it’s important to note that I’ve been using these settings for a while but I find dark a little hard to read and white is still a little “too in my eyes”.)

It should be noted that I mostly read text that has different colors(because of code highlighting). What do(es) the developer(s) at iristech use?

In reply to Stu.

You need to match the Brightness to the room lighting. It’s not about the value it’s more like

The monitor should not look like a light source in the room. So for example if the lights in the room are ON and it’s night 90% may be good while if the lights are OFF 50% brightness might be good

The screen should be easily visible and focusable without getting eye strain so the rule of thumb is match Iris brightness to the room lighting 🙂

Thanks Daniel. I have mine set at 2000 (it’s either 2000 or 1800), but what intensity do you recommend? And what level of screen dim? Does that matter?

Thank you,
Stu

In reply to Nick.

Use it at 1900K yes. It’s more healthy
The default values are not too aggressive because new users don’t feel comfortable lower values like 1900K

By: Nick

Nick — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 04:33:59 +0000

Hi Daniel, i’m using 1900k at the moment during the day & night feeling very comfortable with it. Should i keep using it at this level or use recommended setting ?
