I don’t think it can be BAD for the screen. It’s just a colour overlay.

It’s good, I really like it, when I switch it off the difference is like “aagh my eyes”.

Is this good for the screen though?

[...] Voor diegenen die grafisch en kleurgevoelig werk moeten doen is het pakket niet zo geschikt maar er is een optie om F.lux voor een uurtje uit te zetten. Bij de installatie moet de locatie opgegeven worden en F.lux doet verder automatisch zijn werk. Via T-Zine.be en MakeUseOf.com. [...]

anyways, that doesnt work too good. id need for the light intensity a sinus with a ’streched peak’, which in the end doesnt mean a standard sinus that they use.

do u know about other programs?

i keep on clicking “disable for one hoer” haha

Thank you. I’ve been using F.lux for two days now, and I love it! The only suggestion I have for others is to set schedule of transition (under CHANGE SETTINGS) to “over 60 minutes.” Scheduling the transition to occur “over 20 seconds” was too abrupt–a shock to my nervous system, at 0700, when I had been up all night using computer.

No no, it’s cross-platform. Visit the site for download links. I don’t have a Windows PC to test it but Varun did. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/get-better-monitor-lighting-that-feels-good-to-your-eyes/

You’re right, I didn’t phrase it properly. The Night setting is used to reduce brightness and generally compensate in the difference between the screen’s brightness and ambient lighting.

The “night” setting is to reduce eyestrain by lowering the overall brightness, not to reduce interference with your sleep-wake cycle.

Check out “Nocturne” for another app that is made for low-light computing.

I totally agree and initially it takes a bit of getting used to

I just downloaded it, but it looks really interesting and hopefully it’ll help with that dreaded “wide eye” syndrome before bed

I’ve been using F.lux for ages now. Can’t imagine living without it.

One big, huge tip: Use it for at least a week before trying to asses it.

This is great!!!

I used to adjust the brightness manually as I approached my sleep time… but this color adjustment is awesome.

Thank you once again, MUO
