Why: Computer screens emit blue light that can cause eye strain and make it harder for you to fall asleep at night. Adjusting the warmth of your display makes the screen easier on your eyes during late-night work.

What: By following these steps, you will customize the color temperature of your monitor to make your viewing experience more comfortable.

To help you get to sleep, turn on the night light, and your display will show warmer colors at night. If the default settings are not right for you, you can manually change the intensity.
