Perhaps try reading up about blue light before posting comments like this. The Blue spectrum produced by White LEDs used in the backlight of a modern TFT are harmful to the human eye, cause maccular degeneration its also disrupts sleep patterns. There are a lot of panel makers who are doing their best to improve this by using blue filters, they should be applauded. The ones that ignore this...they should be taken to court for causing an incurable degenerative disease.

My dear. BenQ has mesmerizing Blue Light Reduction method. No, it is not some UV filter. They do it by boosting Red and Green color channel. All you need is to take mspaint, look at palette and change values on monitor.
Basically, you get yellowish tint like when 5800K temperature is used. No magic, no changes in manufacturing process.

And result? Loss of color clarity. Thank You. No, Thank You.

Google friendly:
New evidence strongly suggests smoking is high on the list of risk factors for macular degeneration. Other risk factors for macular degeneration include having a family member with AMD, high blood pressure, lighter eye color and obesity.

Because the disease develops as a person ages, it is often referred to as age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

But you may explain me exactly what kind of blue light is that culprit? Because it ain't UV light. How I know? My glasses will let light of any intensity through, as long as it is not UV. Even small amounts of UV will make them dark.

And then there is light in visible spectrum. Have you ever used LCD outside. (like cellphone) How bright is that compared to sky?

Now, little friendly wiki...
If the extraterrestrial solar radiation is 1367 watts per square meter (the value when the Earth–Sun distance is 1 astronomical unit), then the direct sunlight at Earth's surface when the Sun is at the zenith is about 1050 W/m2, but the total amount (direct and indirect from the atmosphere) hitting the ground is around 1120 W/m2. In terms of energy, sunlight at Earth's surface is around 52 to 55 percent infrared (above 700 nm), 42 to 43 percent visible (400 to 700 nm), and 3 to 5 percent ultraviolet (below 400 nm).
---------------
It's just above 1000W per m^2. Can you compare it to 40W energy from screen emitting in very wide angle hitting 1m^2 in distance around 80cm away? If not, let's try easy mode.
Did you notice how well monitor illuminates your room in night? Can you compare it to natural illumination through window during day? Or to direct Sunshine illumination?
