I'm surprised people are only finding out about it now through tek syndicate. I've been using f.lux for years.

 

It's a lot better if you enable lower extension, I drop mine down to 2700k and slow transition and you don't even notice the color shift (Pistol complained about that, that's all you have to do to fix it)
 

I use it with gunnars, can sit on PC for days with no eye pains or dryness.

I've been using it for about three years or so. Can't live without it. It makes using a computer at night so much more bearable.

I'm fine without it. Does seem really neat for the people who do need it though.

I use it with gunnars, can sit on PC for days with no eye pains or dryness.

I use both too, and actually leave it on all day to some extent on my work laptop. It's been pretty useful when working at night because I can turn off any other lights and use the monitor without it blinding me :P

I've used it for a while now and i must say that it's helped a lot with eye strain.

Installed it on all the computers i have and i don't feel like removing it.

ive got gunnar attache emissary, and been using those for a few years,

so i guess ive never needed to find something else, but it helps when im playing games at work,

cause at work i need to wear ppe, safety glasses and hard hat, so its easier to have a program, then take the glasses to work.
