I'm Rob, 26, have had problems since I was 16.
Anything with an IPS screen gives me migraines be it from phones, tablets or computer monitors. I get some mild discomfort from PWM but not enough to stop me using a monitor. I suspect this might be to to do with Irlen syndrome mentioned above - most IPS panels have chevron'd pixels that forms shapes that would affect a person with Irlen syndrome, but I can't say with any certainty. TN panels are mostly fine, ccfl more than led.
I have some unknown problems with GPUs, I often struggle when monitors are plugged in via DVI, though sometimes its fine (perhaps due to cable quality, or GPU handling of DVI?). And on the whole seem better with low powered GPUs (Nothing above 8pin power connector has worked for me without causing some issues).
My problems have gotten dramatically worse recently, I've moved back in with my parents for a few months whilst I am waiting for a new accommodation. Since then I've been unable to use any computer/monitor combination without headaches. I suspect (and really hope) its something to do with an allergy to my parents dog, I'm hoping it will return to normal when I leave for my (dog free!) housing in september.
In the mean time I will be exploring what aspect of computers/monitors is causing current problems, perhaps whatever I learn will allow me to fine tune future computer/monitor setups. At the moment I can only think my problem is an increased sensitivity to dithering (at the monitor hardware level), as I am already using Benq BL2405HT: pwm free; low bluelight monitors.
