> Turn the brightness down to something not much brighter than a sheet of paper on your desk. You can always turn it up to watch a movie.
With the computer screens I've seen, it's only possible to approach paper in a brightly lit environment. I'm normally setting brightness to minimum and contrast to maximum, and still using light-on-dark themes with good (though not extreme) contrast.
For dim environments, some mobile phone screens (and I've heard computer screens as well) attempt such adjustment automatically, and can go dimmer than common computer screens, but it usually leads to a very low contrast and illegible texts.
