Holy shit, /g/. I never used to pay attention to color temperature and the whole F.lux craze, I thought it was silly placebo. For the last few days my eyes have been feeling very "tired" and worn out because I've been sitting at my computer a lot. So I turned my color temp down in the graphics control panel, WOW. My eyes feel so much better it's insane.
/g/, turn your fucking color temp down. You'll thank me later.
Put some proper lightning in your room instead of making your monitor look shit.
>>52208337
lmao just turn on your lights autist
Turn down the brightness of your screen you dipshit.
That's what flux does.
>>52208337
No, fuck that fucking shit. You have to be a serious fucking betafaggot, if you stare enough at a screen in darkness for you to start having sore or tired eyes.
Real adults with real jobs don't use their computer 99% of the day, neither do they browse the internet all night in darkness, so my eyes are quite fine.
Also, f.lux IS placebo, it's literally a programme to turn your screen orange. rip colour accuracy

I don't know what blue light is.
>>52208522
ok mobile poster, you're actually confusing f.lux with the shitty old android apps which draw a translucent red overlay over the entire screen area. f.lux (and live display in marshmallow onwards) work by dynamically adjusting the display colour temperature based on the time of day, in much the same way that the colour of natural sunlight changes over the course of the day.
>>52208602
>I use my computer all day because I have no job or friends, so my eyes hurt
If you left your le gaymer desktop chair, I'm sure it'd hurt too, so I can understand why turning on your lights must be challenging, as well as going outside.
>>52208608
I'm not posting on mobile, I don't use Android, so I'm not confusing it with anything; I've had f.lux installed, and I've had friends who had it. You can call it colour temperature or whatever the fuck you want, that doesn't change that f.lux essentially makes your screen various orange hues throughout the day, and faggots are supporting this.
It's just a colour filter with a timer. You faggots are so fucking retarded.

That picture is a meme because that actually was a combat move and he knew what he was doing
You can buy a Chinese rgb light bulb and program it to change color throughout the day. It's much better than that Flux shit.

nigger turn down your lcd brightness
thats what i do, its so fucking bright at night i set it to anywhere from 80% to 50%
turn it all the way down tbhfam
>>52208653
Do you need accurate colors when you're reading text? I put it on daylight mode (gamma corrected) when I'm watching movies or editing photos in the evening but use the appropriate color temp for everything else.
Its usefulness also depends on where you live.
>>52208653
My GPU is from 2008 and I live in a third party. Gamer... Top kek

yeah, it's useful that my screen isn't fucking orange while reading shit.

50% brightness during the evening/night, 100% during the day.
>no ceiling light, only a huge skylight.
Feels good man.
>>52208824
Still better than blue
>>52208473
>Real adults with real jobs
Not everyone has a shitty wageslave job.
I'm a music producer who work from home and I sit at my computer for the majority of the day.
I only use color accurate settings during the day.
I have a MG279Q Asus monitor and use brightness at its lowest all the time - it goes very low - and I have never trouble with eyes hurting or shit like OP described. Even when I have lights on I don't raise the brightness.
>>52208337
>Chaning temp from windows software rather than the monitor software
are you telling me you have a shitty laptop panel that doesnt come packed with that?
>>52208890
>I'm a music producer

are you telling me you have shitty bio-eyes that doesnt come packed with that?

Enjoying you're work at McDonalds?
>>52208919
Are you telling me that your monitor can adjust color temperature automatically with the sunrise and sunset?
Because using software is a lot easier than having to adjust it manually all the time.
Also, after a while you don't even notice it anymore. And if I compare my monitor's white in the night with the color of my white wall behind it, they're almost the same (lights on ofc).
It's hard to tell if it really changes anything, but it can't hurt. And apparently it even helps.
>>52208912
>gets 144hz monitor to make it look worse with slow backlight scanning pwm with low brightness settings
how does it feel to be retarded anon?
most of them must run at atleast 80% to have perfect scanning pwm
>>52208959
>you're work
>>52209033
Retard much?
>>52208473
Where do you think you are, fucknut?
I've been meaning to ask this from you people who hate screen filters: can your eyes focus on dark blue neon signs and blue lights in the middle of the night? Are your eyes strained by those?
>>52209071
are you on tension anon?
>>52209085
>At 100% brightness a constant voltage is applied to the backlight. As you reduce the brightness setting to dim the backlight a Direct Current (DC) method is used, as opposed to any form of PWM. This applies to all brightness settings from 100% down to 0%. The screen is flicker free as a result as advertised.
So your point about MG279Q was not only wrong but completely misinformed.

Trips for truth.
i've been using f.lux for like 8 years now and I can't go back

Kill urself fucking idiot
also get a job and buy a non-shit monitor you fucking tard

>>52208608
>by dynamically adjusting the display colour temperature based on the time of day
That's stupid, you're stupid for thinking that's a good idea. It should be adjusted according to the ambient light.
>>52209206
>according to the ambient light
For most people, during the day, that is the sun.
And since you can set the upper and lower color temperature yourself, you can make it match with the color temperature of your light bulbs.

Enjoy effectively staring at a light therapy box at 11PM, good monitor or not
>>52209229
What if its cloudy?
>>52209398
It might not be as bright outside, but the color temperature does not change.
Fastest linux distro. Im going to build a server of some sort (probably emby, kodi and vnc)on my older core 2 duo. Which linux /g/ would recommend. Im looking for a good combo of speed and features. For instance puppy linux is too basic, Mint is too much. Pic not related

Not him. But that's because you have yellow incandescent lightning during night and white(ish) daylight during day. You're comparing yellow on your screen to your yellow wall*. You think it looks ok because your brain has built in white balance. Ever wonder why some pictures, especially indoors look yellow as fuck? That's because that's the color things actually are without your brain changing your perception of it.
Anyways, simply lowering total light instead of a specific portion (blue) has the same effect on eyestrain and you still have good colours. And any /g/ worth his salt has his windows permanently covered anyways.
*Yes, you wall literally becomes yellow under incandescent lightning. Color doesn't exist in the object itself.
>>52209498
>But that's because you have yellow incandescent lightning during night and white(ish) daylight during day.
No shit.

Then why do I see the difference in the pic moron
>>52208337

What kind of room lighting do you have?
>>52209498
>Anyways, simply lowering total light instead of a specific portion (blue) has the same effect on eyestrain and you still have good colours.
Also, regarding that part, there are studies that show that blue light (in the night) fucks with your sleep.
If more people would actually bother checking out the f.lux website to find out what it does and why, we wouldn't have a lot of these
>hurr, just reduce your screen brightness
replies.
>>52209551
I don't know why, but the standard setting for the transition speed between day- and nightmode is 20 seconds. You can change it to 60 minutes for it to be less noticeable.
So what's the veredict?
>>52209596
There is none. Read up on what it's supposed to do, consider if you think it's worth it and then just give it a try.
For example, if you often need accurate colors (working with videos, pictures or images) it's probably not a good idea since you'll always have to disable it.
If you get a lot of eye strain at night and have trouble falling asleep then it might help.
>>52209522
Because your screen isn't an incandescent moron.
The fact that your brain has built in white balance is not up for debate
lmgtfy.com/?q=white+balance+perception
>>52209578
People who say "studies show" never actually read studies. Anyways this is so simple i shouldn't have to explain it: You can decrease blue light by 50% by changing your color temperature and get shitty colors. Or you can decrease blue light by 50% by lowering total brightness 50% and have accurate colors. The level of blue light is exactly the same in both cases
>>52209662
>People who say "studies show" never actually read studies.
Nobody does. If people say they read studies, what they really mean is that they read the abstracts.
There is no use in me reading the studies, I would waste hours and would not be able to judge if it is any good or not because it is not my area of expertise.
>>52208473
>real jobs
You mean full time jobs that require you to sit in front of a computer all day that pay a lot more than you make?
Hi there, you must be new.
>>52209727
>not be able to judge if it is any good or not because it is not my area of expertise.
This usually the case for the person writing the article about the study too, especially when it comes to things you read on the internet.
>>52208337
Fuck flux and that time tint shit, it's garbage. Just have that shit calibrated properly from the get go. It's nice to have your color temp at 6500K because shit looks right all the time. If your eyes feel strained, turn down your fucking brightness. If they still feel strained, it's probably because it's a fucking LCD and you aren't blind.
Now if only I could find something to do that on android that isn't some shit tint garbage. It's fucking retarded that there doesn't seem to be anything to calibrate the damn shit.
>>52211745
6500K tires my eyes out if I use it under comfortably soft lighting (not energy-saving shit) at home after sundown
Root and install cf.lumen if you want proper filtering. CyanogenMod (and probably CyanogenOS too) should have it as well
>>52212141
Just turn off the brighntess you fucking moron
