On the AppleTV go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Light Sensitivity.
Then you can assign it to the Accessibility Shortcut and turn it on or off by triple pressing the Menu button.

Hook your TV up to a computer running f.lux or similar! I've used a HTPC for the past decade and more, wouldn't go back.

For my Samsung TV I use movie mode and also change colour temperature to warm.

I have the "blue light filter" on by default, on my android mobile. Don't know how effective it is, but it will at least help a bit.

In Android Pie, it's also one of the 9 shortcuts you get when you pull down from the top twice on your home screen, right next to airplane mode.

I just want to remind everyone that LED backlights emit blue light that isn't eliminated by f.lux or similar utilities.

You might want to refer to our measurement project for some numbers:

Also, you can be below threshold for circadian responses just by being very dim.

Looking at your measurement, if I understand it correctly, you are saying that OP is incorrect and flux does in fact reduce the blue light?

Can you explain this more? If LED backlights emit multispectrum light (to get a white), and the LCD display filters those spectrum via RGB selection (say, letting less blue through, and more red/green), wouldn't this effectively filter the blue spectrum?
I know very little about this so I'm genuinely curious.

So if a new macbook pro has:
"15.4-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology; 2880-by-1800 native resolution at 220 pixels per inch with support for millions of colours"
What possible laptop alternatives are out there that are better for eyes?
If you guys ever wanted to figure out your app on a smart TV (or apple TV), I know there'd be a lot of thankful people!
Also, I'd love to contribute to the ongoing dev of f.lux (I don't think I've had to pay for it?) How might I?
