[lokamoka820]

Do you use third party eye protection software like f.lux or Iris or windows night light is sufficient for windows 11?

I use f.lux

 

[oldschool]

Night light. Built-in works for me but some folks really like f.lux.

Since 90% of the time I'm in my browser, Dark Reader is sufficient.

 

[harlan4096]

Also use Dark Reader in my FF

 

[KnownStormChaser]

For blue light filtering, I use whatever is built into the operating system (windows, iOS, etc). I also use dark reader in my desktop browsers because I'm a dark mode guy.

 

[Morro]

FOr Windows I did use LightBulb in the past, but now I also just use Night Light. And Dark Reader in my Browsers.

 

[Shadowra]

My glasses already filter blue light, so I don't need software for that

Same here

 

[lokamoka820]

I use f.lux

Do you use any specific feature in f.lux that is not available in Night Light, or just the default blue light filter?

 

[Trident]

I do not use third-party software for functions that are already offered. I use iOS, Mac OS, Windows and ChromeOS built-in blue light reducing modules.

Minimum light in monitor...

Is the windows 11 version improved? On windows 10 it looked like yellow plastic film was put over the screen. iOS handles it beautifully. I rarely use my PC within an hour of sleeping and I prefer accurate colors for games and video so I haven’t tried it in a while.

I used to use F.lux many years ago. Not so much now as I've limited my use on screen time.

 

[Nevi]

I never use the Windows tool (more yellow light). I have never felt any side effects of using my computers.
