journeyman Did you experience any kind of blurred vision before you got used to your new computer?
What worked for me after many years of trouble with eye strain
21 days later
It is random for me, in my life there have been 3 devices (out of literally hundreds) that I have actually become used to after a few days and used long term without issue. Usually it just starts bad and gets worst, sometime it starts bad, gets a little better, and after a couple days it fails again
Some, when looking at the screen. Not very blurry. More that I experienced that I felt I couldn't focus on the text and sort of spaced out / just got tired in the eyes trying to focus.
The update on this one is that I have no problems these days. Use the computer probably 12 hours a day without any issues. Can hardly believe it. As I said earlier, YMMV, but if you're at a loss I think this is worth the try for many.

Still going strong, working every day long hours on the laptop without any eye strain.
However, I've been dealing with neck/upper back pain now for 6+ months and need to set up a more ergonomic setup. So need to find an external monitor that will work so I don't have to be hunched over the laptop all the time. I have not been able to use external monitors for over a decade due to eye strain. Not sure how I'm going to solve this but it will probably be a combination of buying a very high quality monitor and suffering through the eye strain until (hopefully) I'll get used to it.

journeyman Great to hear you are doing well. Out of curiosity, were you ever tested for binocular vision dysfunction? You may find this blog interesting; this person had bad eye symptoms until they got special chiropractic care for their neck (NUCCA Upper Cervical Chiropractor). After a single chiropractic adjustment, this person no longer needed their prism glasses.
I was able to get "used" to my LG G7 phone. At first, it gave my muscle twitches/sound sensitivity with minor eye strain, but after 2 months it started to get much better. Used it 30 minutes a day. A year later no symptoms at all and use it 1 hour a day.
