I used to use this but my issue was that I usually watch TV/Movies on my laptop before bed. I had to disable flux to do that which made it kind of pointless for me. During my time using it I never noticed any benefits (probably because, like I said, I turned it off late at night).
Has anyone seen real benefits to using it?
- rangibaby 13y agoWhy do you have to disable flux to do that? Try looking at your phone after using your fluxed(?) laptop for an hour or so. The blue will burn your eyes out...
- eru 13y agoThere are options available for the phone now. (Twilight for Android phones, for example.)
- cowsandmilk 13y agohave you read the link? And seen "Movie Mode" is part of this "big update"?
- k-mcgrady 13y agoI saw it. I was curious if using that essentially ruins the benefits gained using flux.
- garethadams 13y agoWell, "Movie Mode" is not the same as "Disable f.lux". But are you saying that the only thing you do on your laptop after the sun goes down is watch movies?
- k-mcgrady 13y agoLooked into movie mode - seems like what I'm looking for. >> "But are you saying that the only thing you do on your laptop after the sun goes down is watch movies?" No :) The reason I used flux was to help improve my sleep. I thought disabling flux for a couple of hours before bed (even if I used it during the previous dark hours) would negate the benefit. I'm not exactly sure if that's true but movie mode sounds like the solution.
- lportion 13y agoI think it has made a difference for me. Since I started using it I've noticed that I don't have major trouble getting to sleep if I've just finished working on my laptop, which can be a problem for me. Also, I have been turning the brightness right down on most of my non-flux devices (including my TV) because the light is harsh.
