This is a good point too

You should probably eliminate the "blue light free" claim. Per results on clinicaltrials.gov, blue light conclusively does not impact sleep outcomes.
This is complex for a layperson to investigate, but you have to search for insomnia, sleep disorders, wakefulness during the day, and only studies with results. There are many uncompleted studies - it is typical for studies that have no chance of producing an interesting outcome are dropped by their investigators even when registered. However, those uncompleted studies produce many conflating results.
For example, https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT...00?tab=results specifically investigated using blue light blocking lenses compared to clear lenses. This was not blinded. The differences in all their measures were within 1 standard deviation between the groups, so the result is conclusive that (1) insomnia scores vary very widely among people as a baseline (2) if there is a real effect, it is pretty small and would require a larger sample size to measure. Of course when they measure the part where you don't know if you're looking at blue light, like when you are actually asleep, there is no difference between groups.
This is just to say that the whole blue light thing - placebo effects are real. People perceive this blue light thing as real, particularly tech people. Seed.com is successful. You can do placebos. But you should do the right thing and cut weird claims with no real evidence that are really small brained.

I had a Toshiba clamshell portable computer once. Mains only but looked like a laptop. It had an orange plasma screen.
I once had a company assembling Thorn mono 12″ TVs converted to monitors. We bought them in bulk without the CRT and fitted green or orange CRTs. Sold to schools for Apple II and BBC Micro computers. Our logo plate fitted over where the tuner was and the video connector replaced the aerial socket. Nicer than the metal box 9″ and 12″ screens dealers were selling.
White CRTs were not more tiring. Green or Amber was not better. It turned out that what tires is reflections from too shiny surface. The ACT Sirius 1 / Victor 9000 was bettter becaus of the fine matt black mesh over the green CRT, not because it was green. Years later there were some 17″ and 19″ colour CRT monitors with matt flat face plates that were like looking at soot when off. No pale grey or reflections or shine at all.
It's been rare on LCD due to cost. Shiny is cheap and looks better in a showroom with over-saturated demo video.
