So I just found f.lux yesterday off of a quick google search:

Since I have been staying up late geeking out on the new Starcraft my 2nd monitors brightness when I'm playing games has really been annoying my eyes when I'm playing in the dark. I have google for my homepage and bringing that thing up at this time of night is blinding the crap out of me.

Check out this very cool free program above, it uses your zipcode and knows what time of day it is and slowly adjusts your monitors warmth glow based on how bright/dark it should be outside.

It is cool! It makes a huge difference, and it is a small easy to use app.

Re: App that adjusts monitor brightness based on time of day

Wow that is one nifty app. Tried it on the monitor at work, gonna try it at home on my notebook. Designers probably won't use it since it affects colour on the screen.
