I wear glasses to correct for astigmatism but when I'm at the computer they make my eyes strain. So I quit wearing them and found that my displays are positioned at just the right distance that I don't have to strain my eyes to focus on them. Nearsightedness: The ultimate in display ergonomics. :-) > Anyone tried those crazy filter they sell you for 99$? You mean those polarized glare filters? They're a waste unless you're getting glare from nearby lights and windows and you can't move the lightsources/monitor. What I do is darken the color schemes and turn down the brightness and contrast (just a little), then position a light so that it illuminates the frame and surrounding desk area. My preference is a 60 watt rose- tinted incandescent light bounced off the wall or ceiling. Bounce the light, not the lamp, that is. -- Knowledge is the perception of truth distorted by reality To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
