I have that problem on my televisions, it turns out, it's bad implementation of HDR.
Turn HDR off on your devices and the picture is instantly bright and clear.
I'mma try it out. Thank you, I always blamed it on my IT job destroying my eyesight always looking at screens up close.
It's particularly bad on my Samsung sets, their HDR implementation is a known bug and there's no way to disable it on the television itself, all you can do is disable it on connected devices.
Then I find, everytime my Roku, Xbox, or Playstation gets an update, I have to disable it again. :(
Still, better than watching a black scene in a coalmine. LOL.

Oh then I'm screwed I'm just streaming from the TV. I only do it occasionally but this might make me watch Star Trek on my computer instead lol cause those screencaps you posted match my experience exactly
Depending on the streaming service, a $99 Roku box might be worth the investment.
Wow. That’s actually pretty horrendous.
Borderline unwatchable with it on.
That first pic could be my TV. I'm going to try this tonight, thanks 🙂
You should look into some “gaming glasses”. Best Buy has them for like $50 but you can get some off Amazon for $12 instead.
Or you should check into using something like Flux or the built in one for Windows (macOS has one too) for night mode.
We got some newer monitors in the office a few years ago and had to enable it because the blue light was giving people headaches. But the warmer colors helped decrease that a lot.
There's no actual evidence that blue light hurts your eyes, but it can affect your sleep. Instead you should worry about the distance you sit and the brightness relative to the room, as well as making sure to take regular breaks.
It might not have been causing any actual health issues, but it felt like too much on the eyes when we were sitting in relative darker areas and for longer periods of times of exposure.
Using the night mode helped a lot with that intense feeling we were feeling. Getting the glasses has helped with the feeling for myself.
I stole a pair of those from Best Buy in 2011 lol they work okay. Its the screen proximity. My eye muscles are used to viewing things up close so they stay restricted.
