iphone 5 - eye strain solution

eyestrainsolutions

Hi all! I have lots of problems with screens, that give me very bad eye strain. I have tried about 10 new laptops and 10 new external monitors, none worked. I use an 8 year laptop fully update (ram, ssd), that is comfortable for my eyes. I also have an iphone 5 for 4 years that give me terrible eye strain, until now... I have droped the iphone and brake the screen, so i bought a new screen from ebay for about $25. It is amazing, the eye strain is gone, it's night and day difference. Before after 5 minutes with iphone my vision became blurry and my eyes dry, now i can use the iphone for one hour and my vision don't get blurry and eyes feel very confortante.

My solution for the iphone 5 was to buy a new screen, a chinese cheaper one. Maybe this could be the solution for other smartphone models.

This was the screen i bought, but i think most iphone 5 screen that sell on ebay are from the same chinese manufacturer.

About how long to replace the screen? Was there much risk to destroying the phone?

Very interesting. Do you know whats different with the Chinese screen?

I know Apple can use different models of screens depending on region, when and where it was manufactured (the phone), etc

The Chinese screen have less color saturation, and the light don't hurt my eyes. The touchscreen compared to the original is about 20% worse. Im so happy to find this solution, but now would like to know if replacing an iphone 6s screen for a chinese one, would also solve the eye strain. The iphone 5 is still fast, but would love to replace it for a 6s or the new 7.

In my experience if your careful you'll be fine. Although I don't have much experience with iDevices.

Very interesting indeed.
Will it still be an LED backlit screen though or does it use CCFL or something else? Given that I can't handle any kind of LED these days, I don't know if this would help me.

APC75 All iPhone's have been LED backlit.
