@TwoCables True - but when your body should be asleep, there are some monitors that are almost as effective as daylight at reprogramming your brain, and that's what those numbers mean.

Thank you. I think I have one of those monitors. Even at like 10% brightness, it's still quite bright. It's a very high-end gaming monitor, so this is to be expected.

We have a 2500 nit display in our office, and it actually does get there.

@herf And indeed, when you sit in front of it, you squint...

Whoa. I can't imagine having a monitor be that bright unless I needed to use it outside with the sun directly overhead.

@TwoCables to be fair the daylight lighting in f.lux HQ is pretty dang bright

Oh, now I see why you have such a bright monitor.

Ok, thanks for link, so from what I gather from link, these things flux should know.

1. monitor size,
   2)viewing distance
   3)brightness setting.
   4)your age

Maybe you should allow to fill in these if there known, or auto fill for popular monitors.

[herf]

Right, we do get exact monitor sizes from the display metadata, and we approximate viewing distance based on a survey we did of about 5000 people, but we could do even better with more questions!

@lorna I've only noticed this one bug so far, except that vignette mode only seems to affect the primary monitor not my other monitors
