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:

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 is necessary.

I would love to have this!

This is a huge down side for me when using DisplayLink products.
Jared C commented · October 8, 2015 6:41 PM · Flag as inappropriate

This is my biggest gripe about the DisplayLink adapters- If i'm not able to use f.lux, I get headaches.
Raul Funes commented · September 18, 2015 2:43 PM · Flag as inappropriate

This will be very helpful to have.

I would also like to see this.
Jon Brown commented · September 4, 2015 4:03 AM · Flag as inappropriate

I too would love to see F.lux support. I think there are big issues in making that possible as I don't think DisplayLink monitors can be calibrates / use custom color profiles.
