Monitor: BenQ GW2480 Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX550 Cable: DP OS: Debian GNU/Linux 11 - xfce desktop environment if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } Result: No eyestrain

[unknown] The key part is OS, I recommend to use Linux, because they dont have Dithering or something like that. For graphics card, I recommend AMD cards, because Linux doesnt support nVidia cards.

BenQ PD2705Q, my new monitor, has no eyestrain feeling. Monitor: BenQ PD2705Q (turn Brightness Intelligence on) Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX550 Cable: DP OS: Ubuntu22.10 if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } Remember to turn on Brightness Intelligence, that can reduce eyestrain by adjust brightness to fit environment light. I switched from Debian to Ubuntu, then found Ubuntu is more eye-proctect.

Thanks, how much is the fraphics card helping here?

Are you using the default linux ampgpu driver? Or the AMD proprietary driver?

Thanks

You can have my BenQ ew3270u, it gives my eyestrain…

@eDenon-2 I am interested in the type of eye strain you were experiencing before. Was it nausea, dizziness or burning eyes, ie. red eyes?

Thinking of trying this monitor - have to import it so wondering if LG's, Dells and Samsungs with flicker free screens are the same thing.

Michael-Nurse-Dev Try an Eizo monitor. It helps me a lot to be able to reduce backlight LEDs to near zero and still have a perfect contrast(1:1000 even on 30cd/m²).

Please can you point me to where I can learn about contrast's effect on led strain.

hayder1983

Michael-Nurse-Dev I can only explain what helps me. Peak brightness for mee is too high on most monitors, therefore i dont use 1:1000, i reduce contrast to lets say 25/100, when the monitor has a "normal" contrast setting of 50/100. Some people prefer super hight contrast, but i dont. But reducing contrast is easy, getting higher contrast is limited.

hayder1983 Thanks - I am going to try this next.
