I know a lot of people often wish D3 was darker. I found a nice balance on this indirectly. I spend a lot of time on the computer so I wear Gunnars (or Gamma Rays) but there are times where I forget to take them with me. So I started using an app called f.lux, Basically, it "dims" your desktop based upon the time of day to help your sleep cycles and reduce eye strain. It doesn't really dim it; rather it reduces the amount of blue light emitted. I manually set it to the lowest, non-admin setting for light and love how it works.
The other day I fired up Diablo and found that it was still working against my monitor while the game is playing. It gave it a darker feel that I think some people might enjoy. It will change the color of some things because of the way it reduces blue light, but I think that is worth is since it will also help your eyes for long periods of time. If you don't want to install the app, then you can try to get a pair of Gunnars or Gamma Rays instead. Gunnars willl run about ~$80 and the Gamma Rays will be closer to $20.
Anyways, just sharing something I thought would be helpful for some.
Thanks,
Thorn

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to share something that I observed that corresponds with one of the highlighted blue threads on the homepage.
