Color temperature meaning

[Atamanchuk]

Hi people. I hope someone can clearify the next thing. I’ve got a new IPS 22” display and trying to make it work proper and nice. I can’t figure out what color temperature to set. I used dimensions in Kelvins in the past like 6500, 9300 etc. And now on the monitor states color temperature: warm, normal, cold, sRGB. I am looking for 6500K one, because I know it's fione for eyes. Can someone explain me what those names means in numbers. It’s AOC I2269 display if thats matter. Here is the link

Warm is more orange, that's lower K. Cool is more blue, that's higher K. There is no standard range but it's around 2-3k for warm. Over 5k for cool. Normal should be in between that and srgb should be setting it for best color accuracy.

Ok. So it looks like I am somewhere in between of normal and sRGB temperature to choose. Warm looks too yellow and cold too blue. Normal looks not bad, and sRGB a bit brighter and yellowish compare to normal. What would you recomend for long work with document and internet serfing mainly that is fine for eyes?

I'd just keep it at normal or srgb and change the brightness. There's been all the recent talk about blue light for long viewing times but it makes no difference to me and just messes up the color. 6500k is daylight and that's noticeably blue. Lots of monitors now have some low blue light reading mode that no one uses since it essentially does what warm would do, makes it very yellow.

Ok. Thanks.
