No. Typically the sun is brighter. Also if your device is set to 9300K color temperature then it has more blue then normal. The sun is about 6500K and all display devices should be set to 6500K or SRGB where possible for best color rendering. Pros actually have a color calibration device to do even better.

Color perception and maybe eye strain also depends on surroundings. That is why having a neutral background behind a display that has a similar illumination level is recommended.
