  When on my desktop, I use Twinkle Tray and it works flawlessly with my monitor. Makes changing things on the fly a breeze.

• hello, does anyone use these yellow glasses?

  I use yellow, bronze, and sometimes red glasses depending on the use. Before you start with frames, you want to ensure you're properly lighting your display and space. Your screen shouldn't be much brighter than the background, use TwinkleTray or ClickMonitorDDC to adjust contrast and brightness. Only increases brightness if you maxed out contrast, otherwise you'll have more of a washed out imaged. Source: over 2 years ago
