In my opinion, it really depends on the brightness of your monitor(s).

My iMac screen is rated at 350 nits, a.k.a. super-bright, so when Flux kicks in, I don't mind it if I'm working on that screen.

On the other hand, my 2nd monitor is an el-cheapo Samsung I bought before I cared what "nits" meant, and is rated at 250 nits -- a significant difference.

My typical workspace at night is, left screen (iMac) holds the browser where I view changes, and the right screen (Samsung) has my code editor.

So when f.lux kicks in... my options are one of two things: - disable it - buy a new monitor

Guess which one I go for?

So are you enjoying your new monitor?

(Have you tried calibrating both screens? flux should not affect brightness/gamma differently.)
