I really wish someone would put f.lux in a TV or receiver. Sure, it's not ideal for critical viewing, but it'd be great for casual tv watching/gaming at night.

I really wish someone would put f.lux in a TV or receiver. Sure, it's not ideal for critical viewing, but it'd be great for casual tv watching/gaming at night. Anyone found good solutions for that? I tried amber glasses but it's a bit of an awkward solution and somehow doesn't feel as effective as f.lux.
Would lowering the blue light in the TV's picture settings and the brightness accomplish everything f.lux does?
- ovi256 13y agoMany modern displays have color temperature controls, so you can lower it at night. The blue light setting comes close to the same effect, AFAIK.
- josefresco 13y agoMy LG TV has an ambient light sensor which will adjust the brightness of the TV. One issue is that when the TV first turns on the default (or prior) brightness is often brighter than the sensor detects. Seconds after powering on, the TV will darken which if you hadn't seen the brighter version would seem normal (guests have asked if the TV is broken after witnessing this) At night (up with a sick kid) the feature is great and you couldn't imagine watching TV at night without it.
- corin_ 13y agoWhat sort of amber glasses? I've heard great feedback about Gunnar Optiks, though I've never tried them myself (for more than 30 seconds) and they're not very cheap. http://www.gunnars.com/ http://www.gunnars.com/ Disclaimer: I have met people from Gunnar a few times and I know one of their marketing agencies very well - but have never been paid by Gunnar for anything :)
- britta 13y agoAccording to friends who have tested them, Gunnars don't block blue light very well, but these $8 safety glasses do: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000USRG90 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000USRG90
