iPad Pro True Tone off or on??

Interesting replies...I’ve always had it on since it was introduced. I had it on my launch day Ipad Pro 9.7, then my 10.5Pro, and then my 11pro (‘18).
I always found Apple displays too cold and bluish without it. I have a Pixel Slate which doesn’t have TT, but it has a much warmer balanced screen, so I don’t really miss it there.
But I can understand, and I used to do this before but I stopped out of laziness, that when playing movies or Netflix, that turning it off would be truer to the colour the film was mastered with.
Good question OP

Turned it on and left it on.
Depends what you do with your machine.
If colour accuracy is important for your work, sure, maybe turn it off / on as appropriate - AFAIK True Tone ON should be better for that as it matches the white balance to what the light sensor sees from ambient lighting, but I am not a colour accuracy professional.
If you want to get less eye strain and sleep better, turn it on. I agree, turning it off, things look way too blue.

On. Looks hideously blue without it. One of apples most underrated features in my opinion.
You get used to it until the moment you turn it off then it looks blue.
I don't like True Tone as it distorts colours when viewing videos and pictures. For text it might result in a more accurate color, but I prefer to have True Tone off, so I disable it on all of my devices.
Love it, it’s always turned on on my kit, don’t do anything colour critical though.(love night shift too, i have a feeling people often confuse them)
I like my white like fresh snow and not peed on. Apple should default true tone to off instead of on. Probably reduces a lot of unnecessary returns and exchanges.
I was always against true tone because it just looked yellow to me. On my first oled iPhone I just left it on to try it for awhile and my eyes adjusted to it. I now use true tone on every device (iPhone, iPad). I think it's actually better if you give it a fair chance (1 week).
People that think its too yellow probably leave their TVs on the out the box settings.
Their brains have adjusted to think blue whites are correct. I felt the same way now the whites look completely white to me not yellow. The only time it looks yellow is when night shift is on.
I think True Tone puts it closer to 6500k whites which is correct.
