      @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.

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

                  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.

                      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
