Why we actually need bluelight filters in lens, monitors and phones? Led bulbs are already emitting a hell lot brighter bluelight every day and night. Whats the point in buying these less blue marketed gadgets

        Yes but I don’t buy those glasses. And as for useless features devices come with: there are scores that everyone pays for but never uses. For instance: Windows 11 has a feature that let’s you control RGB backlight of your computer components.

        Imagine if everyone got their devices and software tailored to their specific needs. The cost for the developers would be so much higher and they’d never develop anything actually useful for the majority of users.

        Take Windows. An OS is a very complex piece of software that has tons of features. One of them is coincidentally a blue light filter called Night Light. Microsoft listens to input from the community to add these features, they don’t unilaterally decide it gets in and users just get it because they pay for it.

        And if you feel like Windows is too bloated with features you don’t want, you don’t have to pay for it. You can get any Linux distro for free and you know what? Some of them come with blue light filters. But even then, your computer monitor will likely have a colour tone called Warm, which is a lot less heavy on the blue.
