What's this "Blue Light Filter technology" I see on monitors?

Been seeing that tagline on a lot of monitors (example below) while I look for a new screen, and nobody really explains what that means.

Is it like flux or whatever it is that removes blue from the environment?

Also, I can't even tell what type of display it is, whether it's matte or glossy. They just say it's "Anti-glare" which makes me think of matte.

I won't know you're talking to me unless you reply/quote me.

Yes, it is pretty much flux without all the driver screwery.

Blegh, forget that monitor, then.

You can enable / disable it on most monitors, so don't let that sway you too much.

Nearly all monitors (from what I've seen) include it nowadays. It's helps so your melatonin levels aren't messed up by the light (in theory).

Also can be useful to stop eye strain as well, as the blue light can cause pain on some people.

For me I can definitely tell the difference on my phone.
