Oh that's great. How long did it take you to receive the monitor?

      chahahc It took about two weeks for the company to ship it, and another week for me to get it in Canada. When I ordered the company still had some stock in, and they had just established a waiting list.

        This monitor is fantastic. There are no flicker symptoms on a good setup.

        It does pass through strain from bad OS, GPU and software as expected.

        However, it eliminates a major factor in eyestrain which is spectrum and flicker. To otherwise eliminate these issues you would need to find a Quantum Dot monitor or TV with low ripple and pixel inversion, etc.

        I cannot recommend it enough if you have a good setup you want to amplify.

        If you are trying to make a bad setup tolerable e-ink MAY be a better option (unsure, @ensete already mentioned modern Windows causes him strain on e-ink, which is very concerning).

        I still need to set up a proper lighting situation for evenings though, which I mentioned in some other posts pertaining to LED strip lighting.

        Having a good setup, I only find myself turning to e-ink when it is dark. E-ink is legible with much less light (I have NOT messed with the settings on the Sun Vision yet).

          degen is bad setup tolerable with this monitor? How long you are able to work in front of monitor comfortably with bad setup?

              denise_eca that's weird that you can't access it - try to google the company name and try to access their website like that, but they do sell and ship the monitor internationally (as for me, I bought it from Germany). The procedure of ordering it was a bit different for non-US customers, because their checkout form didn't allow to choose a destination outside of the US (don't know if they have changed it since then), but using their contact form and notifying them of the issue, they have taking good care to get my monitor shipped as soon as possible once I paid their invoice (unfortunately you have to expect to pay a hefty customs tax bill afterwards).

              Edit: I see I got ninja'd 😃 but it seems you still have to contact them directly for a non-US purchase.

                  denise_eca I paid roughly 320 euros customs taxes on top of the 275 dollars shipping, so I would assume that it should be pretty similar to your destination. I think nobody would be surprised if I told them I was like "holy cannoli!" when I saw the Fedex bill.

                      seeker_of_no_light Yep. They declare the full value of the monitor (and fairly I can’t blame them for that), and so the customs fee from FedEx was also huge here in Canada.

                        karthi3219 A bad setup is not tolerable. Things I am sensitive to like OS, video card — problems with these are on full display with this monitor. It only eliminates the backlight problem, which is the need to lower the brightness to minimum on most (non Quantum Dot) monitors. Not having to worry about that and to have a well lit screen with sunlight coming in my office, that’s good for me with my basic Intel integrated graphics on legacy Windows. This monitor eliminates a hugely problematic variable, but is not a cure-all.

                          Is the surface of the monitor glass like an apple display or just a glossy polarizer film?

                            chahahc Not sure. How may I tell? It does not have a matte appearance, that's for sure. Yet I don't see glare from it unless the sun is low in the sky and shining directly on it from a low angle.

                                That's a good question. I'll just message SVD with that to confirm.

                                  At the risk of pestering you with more questions, could I ask if the RLCD monitor is viewable through polarized sunglasses? It would seem intuitive that a display originally designed for outdoor usage would be polarized in a way that would make it viewable while wearing sunglasses. But in my experience there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason in the polarization direction of LCD displays. In the early days it seemed VA panels were horizontally polarized and IPS panels were usually vertically polarized, and thus viewable through sunglasses, but nowadays it's a crapshoot.

                                      chahahc I don't mind questions. It is viewable through polarized sunglasses. The image goes dark if I turn my head to the left, but is still visible if I turn my head to the right.
