What needs to be reduced for eyes brightness or contrast for you?

Question

Monitors

The bottom line is that, I noticed that if you turn down the brightness, but at the same time increase the contrast (it doesn’t look too high and everything is OK with colors), your eyes hurt, and even if you make the monitor brighter (not in terms of brightness, but in general) but reduce the contrast up to 10-20 ii compensate for brightness, you can watch. It would seem that everywhere they write about the fact that the difference in lighting will give fatigue to the eyes, but from my experience the difference in lighting is not as significant as the contrast.
Because white does not hit the eyes so much even if it is bright, when it is dimmer but with stronger contrast, it will hit harder. (I personally have this)
Am I the only one or is there an explanation for this?
After all, if you take increasing brightness or contrast, the monitor becomes brighter in any case, but if the first parameter can even be overestimated, then the second one has to be wildly underestimated ....
I apologize for the confusion, if you ask me to clarify!

Answer 1

If you have Windows, then turn on the thing called "monitor color calibration", there you can adjust the brightness and contrast.
There are also calibrators in the form of a device, they are more accurate than eye settings. You can rent a calibrator in most major cities. Or invite a specialist with a calibrator.
