I find f.lux unusable for quite a few TV shows on Netflix on my Macbook. I don't have an issue with the colours, but it introduces artefacts in very bright areas which are really annoying. Sure I probably shouldn't watch Netflix before bed, and I don't when I need to be up early etc., and I probably could fiddle with settings to fix it - but it is noticeable and annoying.



Yeah, it somehow screws with full screen QuickTime video playback. I think in those cases the video player is trying to bypass some of the standard OS display processing and send data straight to the screen to save power, or similar.

I’ve found VLC doesn’t have an issue, but I’m not sure if you could use VLC to play Netflix videos.
