StaceyPowers Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 If you game at night, do you use blue light filters? I don't. It doesn't seem to keep me awake, and I prefer true colors for gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I don't really think blue light filters have any major effects on anything - as a matter of fact, a study recently came out that they're useless which I always thought as well.

Empire Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Nope, Mostly when gaming at night I always ahve my bedroom light on and other lights facing my face.

Heatman Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 When it comes to how my gaming goes at night, I don't use any filters. I have never seen its impacts ever since I have used it in the past, so it's completely dumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really got the idea behind blue light filters because most of the people I knew who used it, they said it was ineffective and I also found it ineffective. What you're doing at night is more likely to keep you awake and no light filter can change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycrab Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Well since I am a Vampire, I use Blue Light to illuminate the room because natural light burns my skin. I have other choices of course like red, green and everything in between but I just think blue is cool, calm and emphasises my lack of hue. In blue I can easily hide because in that light everyone looks like a corpse!

Akun Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 My eyesight's gone to crap anyway. lol So no, I don't bother. The "Night Light" setting on my PC looks kinda weird anyway, giving off this sepia color tone. I like quality graphics in my games.

You don't even need any lights at all cos I heard vampires sees clearly in the night 😂. I'm just kidding!! Gonassis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I have it set on my PC and Laptop to use the blue light filter after a certain time, usually around 6:30pm est or when the sun goes down. For Windows it's simply called "Night Light", for Linux or Ubuntu, I'm not sure. It may just be a blue light blocker. It's a really good idea to use these filters at night, because prolonged viewing of a standard PC at night, can do some damage to the eyes. Another option you could take is to buy those blue light blocking glasses. There are a ton of them on Amazon and I think some of the big name gaming glasses feature blue light blocking as well. But yeah, I really like having the option, because when I do, it tints my screen a yellow color. It takes some getting used to, but it really helps at night.

This is exactly my same reasoning lol. 🤣 though I use the orange night filter settings when browsing walls of text on the internet at night, but if I'm gaming? well... I'd rather not. but if I had to, I'd rather buy those yellow Esport glasses. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't, I just play something that doesn't involve being outdoors in-game in daylight. Gonassis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, this oddly reminds me of tinnitus, the way you describe it. 😅 also, does that mean you play as an in game vampire? 😁 Just kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That worked out well in Skyrim, actually. But don't get me started about the time I caught vampirism in Oblivion. It nearly ruined the game for me.

It makes it look like a foreign variable is been added to the game which was never there initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 If I am gaming on a table top console at night I usually like my room to be a little dark with blue light but I don't use a blue light filter on the screen. For my mobile Games I just put on the eye Care mode and play videogames at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
