I'm speaking as a colorist working in film/television here. TV's already have enough issues destroying the look we carefully craft with "features" like dynamic lighting, motion smoothing, vivid mode, etc. A huge color shift is going to throw this off even more and dramatically change the look and tone to the detriment of the work. This is great for reading text on a screen, but should be disabled for viewing media - you wouldn't look at the Mona Lisa with amber glasses.

TV/Film colour grading does enough to try to destroy reality with the horrible OTT teal&orange gradings.

If the mona lisa was painted in duo-chrome I might not be upset at viewing it under different temperatures.

I would if I had to look at it constantly for my job and entertainment and it had a bright blue backlight shining right into my eyes all the time, :p.

A change in white point should interfere less with your colors than those other monstrosities you mentioned.

Often the creator does not have all that much control over how their work is consumed. (And I guess it's not worse than reading a novel in a loud room, in some sense.)

I cannot watch TV with any sort of motion smoothing enabled. When watching other people's TV's I usually offer to "fix" the image, but in the end most prefer it enabled.

It is pretty great, however it cannot be changed to another key combination and if you happen to use that particular shortcut in some other apps (cough OneNote cough) you're pretty much screwed.

Well, it looks like I was wrong - you can disable the shortcuts from the Extras menu (not from the Settings one).

They used to. My grandfather had ancient color TV when I was very young that used a photo sensor to adjust itself to the room lighting's color balance.

They still do in that they can automatically adjust brightness based on light environments. Just brightness / backlight setting though, not colors or anything. I have it turned off and have it set to the lowest, given how it's still too bright even if my room is pretty dark.
