For the past few weeks, I had trouble falling asleep. Mostly due to late night screen use. Even though I use blue-light filtering glasses and night-time mode on my screen.
Then I thought to myself, why do I need to fight with this? Why cant I just buy a screen that has only red pixels (LEDs) on it?
So, I made a google form to check for interest in such a display. Or just comment here. Would you be interested in buying a display that uses only red pixels (no blue or green light) to reduce eye strain and improve sleep quality, even if it means limited color accuracy?

Coincidentally, i saw several headlines yesterday (now long gone from my news feed) claiming that blue light filters are not nearly as effective as once believed. It may be worth researching the current status on that info before committing to a red-only screen. (There's no way i'd buy one, in any case.)

FWIW, iOS already allows color filtering to display only red (or any other color).
I believe macOS does too; and then there's the venerable f.lux, which not only has warmer tinting but also "Darkroom mode" (red only).
