cfrizz, so you believe that LCDs have no negative effects on people's eyes? (Or no significant effects at least.) So you would see no benefit to using an eInk display then? I should mention that I do not actually have any problems reading from an LCD right now, not counting a couple times recently where I found myself unable to read, I am more concerned about developing a problem later as a result of long exposure to LCDs. I am trying to take preventive measures now rather than remedies later on. I am doing this partly because I have heard that a lot of people have problems with LCDs and I don't want to risk developing problems of my own in the future and partly because of those two instances when I was temporarily unable to read.
If you are right and people only think that they are having problems (similar to the placebo effect I suppose) then that would be great. Nonetheless, a lot of people have complaints about LCDs so your singular opposing view wont be able to convince me that I am safe. Not without evidence at least.
Fluribus, I cannot make my screen very dim either but I should be able to hack it by connecting a variable resistor to the backlight. Is that really the issue though? That article I linked to gives a few other possibilities and I don't want to void my warranty for something that wont have any positive impact.
