degen I'd like to try that, but for now I have only one internal SSD, on which I have 20H2, because I need it for Adobe Premiere (it won't install on LTSB), and I tried installing 2015LTSB on a external USB SSD, via WinToUSB. I don't see any option to inject some drivers. Maybe if I can find a spare m.2. Thanks for the help!

      That is only if you want to install it on local meda. On external drives, the official setup does not allow it. So I am using a program called WinToUSB, which preinstalls the windows up to the first reboot. And I cannot install in on my main drive, because I need it for work, and there are apps that require the latest builds.

        degen I've reverted my desktop Intel drivers to the version you noted above, 22.20.16.4836, and will try that for a bit to see how it feels. I think I was on a 21xxx version before Windows auto-updated me to 27.20.100.8682. I've never LOVED any display setup on this machine and think I'll probably just add an old Nvidia card to it eventually and/or revert it back to 2015 LTSB to try that out (currently I'm on 2004).

        One question: should I be leaving all the Intel graphics settings at default? I think I read someone somewhere that was saying once you try using the drivers for color/gamma correction or any of that, that engages the advanced drivers features like dithering et al.

            jrhack I think the main advantage of that driver I mentioned is that it allows the UHD 630/620 to run on 2015 LTSB. I don’t think it provides much benefit on build 2004 over an up to date driver.

              MPaz I haven't unfortunately. Tried to find the top recommended one but in general I just went back to 1-monitor usage despite the productivity loss. Interestingly one Monitor which has no issues is the Asus portable monitor - that's via usb-c

                Hey everyone,

                I had not been feeling well, but now I am a little better and I hope to be active on the forums again. Glad to see lots of active discussions and I hope to engage with you all soon,

                degen

                  degen Take care.

                  I PM'd with some thoughts on some related things awhile ago.

                    My only usable combination is now this:

                    UHD 620 with ditherig.exe, but I'm not sure if ditherig makes any difference

                    And now, after working one week and 2 days after vacation, I've had zero eye strain with the above combination. BUT - just had a 1.5h teams video call and my eyes are bloodshot. Before vacation I had no problems with teams video with this computer. Now my eyes are again bloodshot. There was some updates obviously.

                    12 days later

                    In regular use:

                    • Sun Vision Display monitor
                    • Dell Inspiron 7577 (not good for over 1-2 hours, but it’s the best laptop I have)
                    • iPhone SE 2020 — this tiny phone is the best device I have!

                    Trialing:

                    • Galaxy Tab A8 2022 — feel good about it, but need more testing. When my eyes are well, it is tolerable. More so than iPad. I think they forgot to install color calibration related eyestrain

                    Used less:

                    • Onyx Mira Pro — A great device, but I enjoy using the Sun Vision Display very much
                    • BenQ EW3270U — I thought this monitor was the cat’s meow. But now that I have the Sun Vision Display I feel the strain here quite quickly

                    Undecided:

                    • Possibly a Mac to try Ashai Linux (which has no GPU driver, potentially eliminating a source of strain)

                      Thanks for the update! maybe we need a group demo sunvision display we can ship around the US for folks to test 🙂

                      (benq ewxx never worked well for me. )

                        reaganry it passes through OS and software related strain unfortunately. I am having trouble tolerating Windows at times. This is why I want to try Ashai Linux on Mac, No GPU drivers yet

                          degen Hi,
                          I too have HD530

                          Setup: Win 1507

                          GPU: HD 530, 10.18.15.4279, driver updates disabled

                          Display: asus- va249-he . it's an eye care certified 8-bit VA monitor. brightness 46% , contrast 80%, no color profile availble , 32 bit color

                          Ditherig installed("disable all dithering functions")

                          Chrome : hardware accelration disabled

                          Chrome extension dark read installed , to set dark mode when needed and control brightness

                          No blue light filtering in software or display.

                          It's decent but still somewhat annoying sometimes

                          Is there something more than could be done to improve the situation ? What is your best setup with the HD530 ?
