Re: Where are my Night Shift options?

Actually, that might be the problem. The presence of the "Underscan" adjustment seems to indicate that the Mac somehow detects the LG to be a TV not a monitor per se, so as a result I'm not getting very good definition onscreen. 

There is a VGA port on the monitor that I' could use (instead of the HDMI). But I'd have to buy a mini DisplayPort to VGA dongle from Apple for $30...

I found a manual "options" button which enabled a config menu, and allowed me to adjust the display to be more neutral. Unfortunately, the options to control individual R-G-B color balance are dimmed out, but overall it looks much better than it did before!

I resorted to using f.lux since I don't have the Night Shift options, but the net effect is awful. I thought somehow Night Shift might do a better job at it, but apparently not!

However, my Displays does indeed have a Night Shift tab, which “works” on my LG 32” (it turns the display a hideous orange).
