      Eh… Blue light filter reduces image quality. I definitely 100% use it at night, but I’m not sure what benefit there is to using it during the day, especially when 80% of the screen is black or some shade of dark gray most of the time anyway.

        Less eye strain. It’s marginal, but when you’re watching text on a screen for 8 hours a day, every little bit helps.

          I’m not super convinced it actually reduces eye strain much. I like it at night because less blue light = less wakey wakey, but that’s useless during the day.

            Idk, my eyes start to hurt if there’s too much blue light in the environment (fluos are the worst). Screen blue light isn’t nearly as bad, but a filter still makes it more comfortable.

            It could make you less "over concentrated " thus reduce eye strain and stress. As if sitting in comfy room with warm colors. It’s just speculation though.

              I’m going by:

              Blue light in the room - eyes start to hurt

              Yellow light in the room - eyes don’t hurt

              It’s the same for screen light, but far less noticeable.

          Personally, I keep it on all the time because I’d just forget to ever use it if I didn’t lol

      I’ve tried this several times, but I’m always afraid I’ll forget it’s on when doing colour-sensitive work (e.g. editing photos). Your eyes adjust to the difference somewhat (so that at one point the yellow starts feeling neutral), but things would still be off in the end.
