To clarify, I was speaking to broader claims of people saying f.lux puts them to sleep like a baby and the f.lux authors themselves claiming it as a tool in the fight against cancer and acne.
Note that f.lux does not even claim to prevent eyestrain. The closest they come is this: "Our users say that f.lux prevents eyestrain." That's hardly science; in fact it's exactly how shady companies market vitamins.
Also, I don't know what "feels better on your eyes" means but I will point out that if 2700K screens felt better "in an otherwise dark room" then movie theaters would use them. You say "It's that simple!" but like most things, it's a little more complicated than that.
- kungtotte 11y agoYou see no difference between sitting 0.5 meters away from a screen that's projecting its own light or sitting 15 meters away from a screen that has light projected onto it?
- simoncion 11y agoA photon is a photon, regardless of whether it's emitted directly or reflected. All that matters is vibration frequency and intensity of the stream of photons. Do you disagree?
- samizdatum 11y agoMaybe kungtotte is talking about accommodation or vergence, though I don't see how these are relevant to f.lux or colour temperature.
