If computer screens have them like mine does (even an extra set with various "much less blue light" settings), I don't see why modern TVs shouldn't have them as well...
After some re-reading of the thread last night, prompted by the Twilight app info, I found the part about f.lux and am trying it out. I currently use something called "NoSquint" for Firefox that removes the bright white and so I don't notice it as much in the evening on my pc.

F.lux is taking a bit of getting used to. It was too orange at first so I adjusted it just a bit. Tonight will be my second night with it and it is exactly what I need for my TV. Maybe someone will come up with a Roku app that makes it easy. By the time I'm ready to sleep, if I make any changes or do anything much I won't want to sleep any more. The great thing about f.lux is that it handles the transition in the background. Set it once and you're done.

My Paperwhites and the Voyages I got were pretty much the same in terms of the lighting. A nice white, clean, like a hardback book. I wouldn't like anything overly blue, but I do like a nice white, not too bright page for reading. I noticed that with my current Paperwhites I can set them much lower than I needed to in comparison to my PW1 - it was/is a disaster that I had been putting up with for far too long.

ETA - I haven't noticed any slots for settings on my TV. I'll check again. As far as I remember, once you change it the settings are there until you change it again unless you choose one of their presets.
