Make the Color of Your Computer's Display Adapt to the Time of Day
F.lux is an automated way to keep your monitor settings optimized
Today marks the Summer Solstice, also known as the longest (and possibly sunniest) day of the year. Are the display settings on your computer monitor ready?
To add certainty to the process, try F.lux, an application that automatically adjusts the color and brightness settings on your monitor, depending on the time of day.
Just install the free utility—it’s available for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems—and let it go to work. F.lux manages your display settings for you, making it easier to read what’s on the screen.
While computer screens are designed to look great during the day, looking at a bright screen at night is not optimal. F.lux adapts the brightness to make sure it’s appropriate for sunlight during the day and remains comfortably warm at night.
So the next time you get the feeling that you’re burning your retinas every time you look at your monitor, remember there’s a way to lighten things up.
