jasonpicard Well, it depends. Definitely not now. I am in a new environment - new monitors, laptop (Mac for the first time) - and unfortunately I cannot tell if there is something which does not cause me eyestrain :-( The problem is, when I get it, it may last for long (2-3 days) so it is really difficult to rule devices out. But I am sure the new OLED phone I bought and immediately got rid of was the number 1 killer.
In my previous job for 16 months I used a Dell Latitude laptop with reduced display resolution and I had no problems, but plugging it into the monitor I was provided with would drive me insane (so in that case it was the monitor?).
Before that, I spent three horrible years with a Fujitsu laptop. Eyestrain every single day, both with the latptop display and the monitor. I am now thinking of the lighting, but there was a crappy HP laptop connected to a tool which was easy on my eyes and it was in the same room so flickering from the lamps does not sound the culprit.
I am clueless. I think I should investigate temporal dithering, which I know nothing about.
I wish there were a laptop display or a monitor similar to the Amazon Kindle's. I would pay a fortune for it and would not mind forgetting about colors.
