I stare at screens pretty much all day, whether it's a laptop display, an external monitor (both at work and when gaming on my Windows 11 PC), a TV, my ROG Xbox Ally X, or my smartphone. This obviously isn't great for my eyes, so whenever possible, I turn on dark mode across all of my devices, and take advantage of features that adjust the device's screen color to better match the ambient light in a room.

I've used Apple's True Tone for years with Apple's iPhone and iPad, but I didn't realize until recently that Google offers similar functionality with its Pixel 10 Pro that's actually notably better. As part of Google's March Pixel Feature Drop, the tech giant added a new feature called Comfort View.

As a base level, Comfort View is a subtler version of the Pixel's Night Light option. It desaturates your screen and reduces the blue light it emits, making the screen notably easier on the eyes. The feature turns on automatically based on the surrounding lighting conditions, so it might be a few minutes before you notice it's enabled.

I don't plan to turn off Comfort View any time soon

I really like how subtle the display feature is

My favorite part of Comfort View is how low-key it is. It doesn't totally change the hue of the screen like Apple's True Tone. Instead, it subtly adjusts its blue light levels to make it easier on the eyes based on your surroundings, including when you're in a well-lit or dim environment. With this in mind, if you're in a bright space, like in broad daylight, you won't notice it that much. On the other hand, if you're doom-scrolling late at night in your bedroom, Comfort View will be far more noticeable.

Comfort View automatically adjusts the amount of blue light emitted by the Pixel 10 Pro's bright OLED screen, helping you avoid eye strain throughout the day without even thinking about it. You can adjust the intensity manually, but to me, that defeats the purpose of Comfort View altogether. It works so well because it runs quietly in the background, and most of the time you don't even know it's turned on.

You can enable Comfort View by navigating to the Display and Touch option in the Settings app. After that, go to Comfort Filters and turn on Comfort View. There's an option to set Comfort View manually, but I've stuck with the Dynamic option since it automates the feature.

There are situations where Comfort View can create issues

If you're snapping photos or watching videos, you might want to turn it off

While Comfort View is generally low-key, there are still situations where you might want to turn it off. For example, if you're taking pictures, Comfort View will prevent you from seeing an accurate representation of the colors you're shooting (they'll likely look very washed out). Unfortunately, there's no way to filter the feature on an app basis — it's either off or on.I've also found that I turn Comfort View off when I'm watching a TV show or movie on a streaming app like Netflix or Apple TV+, because it slightly distorts the display and, in turn, the colors of the content. However, other than the above situations, I've found that I've left Comfort View on nearly all the time since I first tried it a few days ago.Interestingly, I've also found that Comfort View has prevented me from constantly messing around with my brightness settings. Of course, I still turn down the brightness at night when I'm scrolling social media on my Pixel 10 Pro before I go to bed (which I really need to stop doing), but throughout the rest of the day, I leave the brightness at roughly 75% and haven't felt the same need to adjust it as I used to. With all of this in mind, if you want a way to make your Pixel 10 Pro's screen easier to look at, Comfort View is what you're after.
