Finally. A beacon of light among the darkness.

On important thing to note is that regardless of the mode you're using, the lighting conditions of the room play a big role in eye strain. If you have a single bright object (the screen) in an otherwise dark room (for example if you're checking your phone before bed) you're going to end up with more eye strain than if you're in a lit room. This is because the contrast between the bright screen and the dark room cause your eyes to constantly switch between narrowing the pupils to block light from the screen and widening the pupils to take in more light from the dark room. This can be easily mitigated by simply turning on a lamp to light the room. Even if the room isn't as bright as the screen, it can reduce the contrast enough to significantly improve eye strain. When I was young I would always play video games late at night with the lights off and I would find that I quickly reached a point where my eyes were burning so much that I had to stop playing. But since I started leaving a lamp on I've been able to go all night without any issue. Definitely an important factor to consider if you're concerned about eye strain, just make sure the lamp isn't directly in your field of view or it could cause the same issues you're trying to avoid.

FWIW, my ipad 1 lasts about twice as long when using dark mode to read vs paper white type mode.

I've been flipping between light mode and dark mode for a while. But recently I've found that, _for me,_ a sort of middle ground is the ideal when it comes to backgrounds. Stuff like beige, grey, cream, light brown, dark brown, dark blue, dark pink. Also, not _completely_ black or white text. There's something about this sort of colour choice which makes reading a lot easier on the eyes, in my opinion. Though it needs stuff like overlay apps and reading extension. I use Office a lot for college, and I like to have it on the default mode (because I think it's easier to see the text and symbols while they're black on white) and my background one of the colours I've stated above. Though, I change the background back to white if it's something I need to give to a teacher. If I don't need to do a lot of reading, though, I don't care about the colour mode. I just use KZread light mode because it's default. Discord dark mode is *amazing,* though, on the subject of default colours!

yes, and no. at night it's better to use dark mode since your surrounding is dark and having the screen blasts your eyes with white pixels can be blinding at night. but it's the opposite during the day since your surrounding is bright, so people should use light mode to read texts easier as opposed to reading white on black, which can cause strain to the eyes.

While you are correct, you can also use room lights at night and have screen surrounded in bright background and this way light mode is still better. But that poses other threat - if you use too much light hour or so before sleep it affects your sleep badly. So it is better to use dark mode with blue light filter before bed. I think this video is talking mostly about screen usage during work tho. We have regulations for office to have certain amount of light and that means that it's lit enough to have our screens white background.

Dark-mode only saves battery for OLED screens where each pixel is an LED; but for LCD screens and "LED" screens, the LED backlight is still on even for dark areas (though more advanced screens might have "local-dimming" which turns off sections of the backlight). The LCD just acts as a mask to block the light from the LED backlight. Of course OLEDs have their disadvantages as well like good old-fashioned burn-in.

Doesn't really matter if it's "better" or not, what matters to me is that my eyes don't feel like they're on fire, which is what happens when I'm using my computer and everything is bright white. I physically have eye pain when there's a bright background.

For example- news, articles, editorials, basically anything which consists of big paragraphs! So, from the end of 2022 I am using light mode again. Although initial days were difficult to adjust because of 4 years of dark mode, but now it's easier to read and it's also good for productivity. The only thing I miss from my dark mode days is how good the aesthetics were and still are in dark mode! But it won't be the reason for me to go back.

Domagoj Matijević true I keep Night Mode on 24/7. That's what we really need an episode on.

Does anyone notice that you get an after image when you look away after reading text on a black background? It’s one reason why I don’t like dark mode.

My preference for a long time for large portions of text has been black text on a GRAY background... all the advantages of light-mode but without the large expanses of blinding white. I did this specifically because I noticed I had an easier time reading dark on light than I did vice versa... but I also really have a problem with large blocks of bright colors & eye strain. Far as dark mode goes, I have a preference for it on CLIs... but that might just be from familiarity LOL. I've also occasionally made the text gray for CLI, which after watching the video I'm guessing would help deal with the contrast/light bloom issues

I'm old enough to have started with monochrome displays with dark background. When I added a physical switch to my home computer to invert colors, dark on white background, it was a huge benefit to readability and eye strain, and I used it all the time, except (for obvious reasons) in a chess program. While this benefit has been reduced with better screen technology, I still find light background to be much better. When "team dark" acolytes talk about "searing white light", I suspect that this is because the brightness was turned up to cope with the worse readability using dark background. While this makes dark background "less bad" for readability, it does mean that the same brightness is not well-tuned for just switching to light mode. Arguably, dark background can make good sense around video content dominating the display. Of course, the battery life factor is real, but only with OLED (or similar) displays. With the still rather widespread LCD displays, the full backlight is turned on all the time, and blocked by individual LCD pixels to display dark.

I use dark mode for reading and I have for years. It started when I was young and got a kindle, the sepia tone dragged me into the shadows, and gradually the full black was the way to go. White backgrounds are too bright and a true assault to the eyes. I have custom themes on many websites and a Chrome extension to alter what doesn't have a dark mode option. I'll never go back.

I think a huge factor is just the quality of your screen. My super cheap laptop doesn't have a very high quality screen and therefore it takes no time for my eyes to start feeling strain while typing papers. However, when I type papers on my Galaxy 9 phone, I can look at the screen with ease whether dark or light (though I prefer dark).

I also would recommend dark mode when you get closer to your own personal sleeping schedule. Brighter colors "wake you up" more (more or less obviously) and can make it harder for you to get sleepy or enter a "resting mentality". On the other hand, when im working i use light mode for the most part.

I have a question: it seems like the eye works similarly to a camera lens, so im just assuming this. But even though by wider aperture under low light (dark screen mode), your depth of field is smaller, the depth of field is referring to how many parallel planes you can focus, not necessarily how much content of an image could be focused. And since you're staring at a flat screen, your depth of field doesn't need to be huge as long as that particular plane (same distance from eye to screen) is on focus. So why would your eye necessarily strain more with a wider aperture/opening (with dark mode)?

So you are choosing looks over health?

I can't read white text on black background sites like HardOCP for more than a minute without it causing me serious eye strain. Imgur is okay though where I'm mostly looking at pics and short comments. I prefer light mode on my phone but turn the brightness down and the phone blocks blue light near bedtime.

I'm dyslexic which you will find out with the bad spelling in the next couple of lines. However I struggle a lot reading light mode. I'm so glad that dark mode has come along. I hope it's not damaging my eyes because it's the only way I can read successfully on a phone. I also wish more PC programs would adopt dark mode so that I can really get on with my job

My light sensitive eyes: Dark mode saves my life.

I had yt darkmode on since it came and just turned it back Trust me it’s weird...

I just use a blue light filter. On my computer, I use it the whole day, although it is set to get reduce the blue light more at night than it does during the day. I am photosensitive and dark mode really hurts my eyes. That seems weird, since it's less bright light coming at me, but I think it's the contrast. With light mode, my eyes can adjust better. However, I always feel the pain if I happen to be looking at my phone or computer when it switches from more filtered to less in the morning.

I can verify this. My MS word automatically switched to dark page colour mode after some update and I didn't like it at all. I already applied dark mode for the ribbons and menus which I liked. But the white text on a dark background on a large monitor is not easy to read. I felt the exact focusing problem as well as the halo effect mentioned by you. Although I never felt that same problem while using dark mode in my smartphone's Kindle app on an AMOLED screen. Guess the size and distance matter.

A video on the dangers of over-lit florescent lighting in offices would be great. Dark mode forever and for everything.

I need to add a dark theme on my website soon

The white hurts my eyes and I don’t have to lower the screen brightness.

I have my phone and computer in light mode and then put individual apps in either light or dark depending which I prefer for that app. And before I ever heard what you say in this video I've tended toward light mode for reading and dark mode for video. I suspect the fact that I'm in my 60's and my eyes need more light influences my decision on this. My favorite is kindle's sepia tone with dark brown text. It is real easy on my eyes.

I have noticed reading white texts on black backgrounds sometimes a bit confusing or something, I just couldn't really notice it

I just turned DM on a second ago and came here for more info. Tnx for making vid. Basically, I use 3rd party software that puts a yellow filter over my whole screen and adjusts automatically due to personal settings and time of day. It's great and much better for your eyes.

Switched back to light mode. Feels great

i use dark mode on as many things as possible because between ASD and PNES, being in too bright of a place can make my body feel like i’m dying and make me twitch a lot. simply going to someplace darker can bring a big benefit when i’m feeling like that.

Forgot to mention that dark mode only saves battery on devices with OLED displays...

Anime and Stuff Agreed, I'm honestly not much for social media in general. I do browse Reddit and Twitter occasionally, and watch KZread a lot, but everything else aside from contacting people easily, no thanks. Instagram and snapchat and such, they're not entertaining, it's just a waste of time.

Am watching this because i suffered eye strain past week due to dark mode ! Thank you

i knew i wasnt crazy for hating dark mode, it hurts my eyes. I also can't look at a screen without a yellow tinted blue light filter on it. so combine yellow tint with light mode and im happy

Ok...

An awesomely useful video, especially for those of us who... well... I don't focus as well as I used to.

I use dark at night and light at day. I've heard it's bad to use dark mode in bright environments. It's hard to use dark mode at day too. But at night I also use a filter app which allows me to make my brightness even lower and add redness to avoid eye strain

I’ve been using light mode my whole life and was never bothered by it

I just like the way it looks.

I have experimented with colors of background/text a lot and I feel a darker gray text on fully black background works the best. Some ppl also will prefer a slight green tint. You can use the following only with CSS or QSS or XUL enabled software. Use colors like #444 or #363 for text and #000 for background. Even after hours and hours of looking at screen it hardly produces any strain. One more thing, the borders must be rendered a very faint color, #080404 ... A reddish tint will work quite well. U may also want to make it very thin, possibly dotted instead of solid. Whatever it is, It should be much much fainter than the texts. Also use opacity settings to make all images fainter. Use adblock to block most images and noscript to stop any video.

6:19 i've been lied to my entire life!!!

I don't care what anyone else thinks. Dark mode is the best.

so with the focus thing, would dark mode be better for me? i have adhd and i have trouble reading words, as my focus is constantly jumping around and i cant seem to focus on one thing. if my eyes only focus on certain things, wouldn't that make me better at reading? bc rn, as im typing this in dark mode, all the other text is blurred, so i cant accidentally read it and lose my train of thought, wheras in my other window, the site is in light mode, and i can see the other text off of the sides, and i keep accidentally reading ahead or behind or whatever.

Cool analysis and it makes sense with my own experience.

1:00 The Xerox Alto did not have a color display. You can do light mode on a (B/W) monochrome display. Likewise, the Apple Lisa and original Mac. Light mode is correlated with bitmapped displays rather than with color CRTs. However, even some character-based terminals (such as Digital's VT100 and its successors) could do "reverse video" -- i.e. light mode, though it was rarely used.
