Doh! Don't Do That!

If ever there was a patient complaint worthy of a Homerism and a "Henny Youngman" diagnosis, this has gotta be it.

Sheesh!

Oh my.

typical eyestrain, and common sense will prevent it.

don't watch a tv in a dark room, keep a background light on behind the TV

it is similar to looking at the sun, spots burn in the retina of the eye.
just to a different degree.

with the sun, blindness can be permanent, with the TV depending on degree of use, it should just be temporary over a few minutes or hours.

Look, up in the sky .... it's a bird ... it's a plane ... no it's lawyers, circling like vultures over fresh roadkill. :rolleyes:

I am dark-adapted, and the absolute worst thing is when I am in bed trying to get to sleep and Dngrswife wants me to see some post on her Facebook page.

Her phone is always set to max brightness and it's like a pair of knives stabbing straight into my brain.

Coincidentally Mrs. Luna was reading her Nook in bed last night and had the consideration to reverse the color scheme when I turned out the lights.

I got a report that there was some silliness going on over here. Can't have that. :mad:

just wait to see next phone launches and the sentence in manuals - "people, who can see with two eyes, shouldnt ever watch the screen only by one eye. it can cause temporary vision problems."

Something more like this ...

Anybody see a resemblance?

Well, I was trying to steer this thread back on topic. o_O

Bg260 · Jun 27, 2016

I might have to blow the dust off the DVD player.

lunatic59 · Jun 27, 2016

Netflix has 'Holy Grail'.

So this means there will be mandatory warnings for screen brightness now, besides the headphone audio volume warnings we already have, because of dimwit lawsuits and things.

Well doctor I kept my Maglite shining straight into my eyes in a dark room....

Same reason you get a peanut allergy warning on a bag of peanuts or one of my favorites ....

I see it, persons walking down a dark street their whole faces is illuminated by their phone screens, looking at Wechat or QQ, just like shining a bright flashlight at them.

lunatic59 · Jun 27, 2016

There's a new app for eye protection ... every 30 seconds it flashes "Hey, you moron, LOOK UP!" over whatever you are looking at.

Bg260 · Jun 27, 2016

More than likely we'll end up paying more for another "feature" we don't need. The automatic one eye dimming sensor.. or something there of.

lunatic59 · Jun 27, 2016

Or every phone comes with one of these:

Parrot is optional.
