My cheap-ass 20" and 17" TN monitors from ten years ago have them, even some of my CRT displays have had settings for contrast and brightness, I would be quite surprised if yours do not - unless you use a cheap TV instead of an actual computer display.

Haha, they may have them then. They were like $99 displays on the cheap, so I got a pair. I was actually hoping to use them as a cheap TV someday. :)

I used the dark one with the old site. I think it was the default so I just left it there. Once the main site got updated the dark one just didn't seem to work for me anymore.

As a whole I vastly prefer light theme environments. Dark can be OK if the contrast is low enough, but it's kinda painful a lot of the time. If I can customize something I kind of like using a light tan as my white point.

I know a lot of computer guys that like dark. I had a boss that would sit in the dark with his dark theme (which probably makes more since in the dark.) We knew something was up if we saw the light on in his office.

I don't know if these computer people I know represent the public at large very well. I personally just don't understand it it at all. It's heaver, kinda oppressive, and can be painful. I hear it's the other way around for a lot of people so that's what they use. Adobe flopped over to dark themes for their graphics products like Photoshop and Lightroom a long time ago, so maybe I'm the weirdo. I don't care though, I'm sticking to my light theme everything.

Seeing how TVs nowadays are often just used as displays with built-in speakers (if even that) rather than actually using its broadcast receiver function that gave them the name "tele-vision", because a digital television receiver or cable/satellite box is what actually receives the signal, passes the image and audio of the chosen channel to the monitor/speakers (TV) (maybe there's even a unit in between the broadcast receiver and display that separates the audio and image to send the audio to external speakers), your monitors may very well work perfectly fine for "TV" use, depending on the rest of your media setup.

I don't have a television, but since I have a projector, HDMI receiver and a speaker set, I could easily hook up a DVB-T receiver to one of the inputs on the HDMI receiver and thus view television broadcasts.

I wish to be as smart as you someday! :)
