Support f.lux on Windows

Flux will reduce the amount of blue light emitted by the screen which aids going to bed. As it stands, there is no support for color calibration to DisplayLink connected monitors. DCC/CI commands are supported, but there are issues that make it not a viable solution (http://superuser.com/questions/257606/is-there-a-work-around-to-configure-brightness-or-color-on-a-displaylink-monitor).

f.lux latest releases have enabled support for DisplayLink indirect displays (Windows 10)
You can download f.lux from https://justgetflux.com/

For the few wanted to do real monitor calibration, please contact technical_enquiries@displaylink.com to discuss how to enable this on your particular configuration.

The testing of the release has shown a few important flaws in both the implementation of Windows 7 and Windows 10. Unfortunately, this means the feature is far from being good enough to release in 8.3. Work continues on top of finding out why the flaws were found so late in the development.

The 1st two product line implementation is now complete. You can now try 8.3 Alpha 1 to send your feedback if you use a product based on DL-3000 and DL-5000 series:
http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?p=83604

Delivery is forecasted between end of July, early August for DL-3000 and DL-5000 on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10TH1, 10TH2, Creators Update and Fall Creators Update.
DL-6000 series based products are next in implementation.

The implementation progresses. The first products we are working on are the DL-3000 and DL-5000 series and you can have an early preview on Windows 10 Creators Update onwards for these devices: http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?p=82958#post82958

Please do read the limitations before you start using it and use the forum for the feedback so it can be individually tracked and answered to.

Still a lot of work to do… Please do read the limitations before you start using it and use the forum for the feedback so it can be individually tracked and answered to.

Now the analysis for the feature has completed, the implementation has started. Contrast and brightness are already supported through DDC/CI and we are now developing gamma curve modification. The first products we are working on are the DL-3000 and DL-5000 series.

This is planned. It has taken longer than hoped as we have been working with Microsoft to better integrate DisplayLink graphics into Windows 10, which has changed the interfaces we use. This new interface can be seen today with WIndows Insider builds and DisplayLink’s 8.0 software.

We do not want to develop this feature until this new Windows interface development is completed.

This feature is on our backlog of Windows features to add.

This feature has surpassed every other feature request by a large margin....

IJS.

+1 - I've used F.lux for many years and I've just invested in a DisplayLink and it's lovely but it won't support colour calibration and hence F.lux.
Patrick K commented · May 9, 2016 7:33 PM · Flag as inappropriate

I would also like to see this.

Yes absolutely a must have; flux works nicely on my thinkpad's built in screen but not support via my Dell USB portreplicator with displaylink.
Kevin Liu commented · April 27, 2016 4:58 AM · Flag as inappropriate

Definitely a feature I'd like to see as well.

Now that Apple has added similar support in iOS 9.3 ("NightShift") there will be more interest in this, so hopefully this will get added soon!

Basically Any Method for adjusting the gamma would be great. I found something to adjust the brightness but that doesn't fix the real problem. Just makes it so it doesnt hurt as much.

Please integrate this feature! Working with flux on my extra monitor is crucial to me! Thanks
Tipsija commented · February 22, 2016 3:16 PM · Flag as inappropriate

I really need color adjustment options for DisplayLink connected monitor. The monitor itself can't provide as much adjustment as required to get the colors displayed correctly. The driver does not allow any configuration, Windows color calibration just gives no effect. Please add functionality to adjust colors, gamma, contrast, brightness and other appropriate settings.
I have just bought a USB dock station with DisplayLink, and currently it is very disappointing to use it with poor display color settings.

+1 for this, please.

+1 for this feature. Just purchased a displaylink docking station and very disappointed my F.Lux doesn't work on it.
