Didn't work:
iPad 1, 2, 3, (Haven't tried 4), Air 1, Mini 1, Mini 2, Mini 3. (Haven't Tried Mini 4 or Air 2, but guessing same results)
Galaxy Note 10.1. Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition.

Galaxy Note Pro. ( I react stronger to these devices than any other tablets).
Motorola Xoom tablet (Handled this tablet better than the others, but still no dice)
Dell Inspiron 7559 gaming laptop (IPS 1080 Display with Nvidia 960m)
Alienware 13R2 (TN Display with Anti-Glare coating & Nvidia 960m. This is the only TN panel to date that I react /severely/ to) (I react worse to this device than any other.)
BenQ RL2460HT Gaming Monitor. TN panel. (Reaction isn't terrible, but no dice)
Insignia 40" 1080p TV. NS-40D420NA16.
White Westinghouse 55" 1080p LED TV. LD-5580Z.
Samsung PN51F4500BFXZA 51" 600Hz plasma TV. Zero flicker noticed. I bought the 720p variant of this tv and the 1080p variant. No luck with either.
Epson H331A PowerLite Home Cinema 705HD LCD Projector.
Gameboy / PSP / Virtual Boy / Gameboy Advance / Nintendo DS XL / Nintendo 3DS / Game Gear / Sega Nomad
* ASUS PA248Q IPS 1200p monitor for photo editors. This IPS monitor affects me less than any other IPS monitor, no go though. PWM.

Did work:
Any CRT tube type television.
Any CRT projection television I've viewed so far.
ONE specific LED / LCD television by TCL. LE48FHDF3300ZTA is the model number. 240hz, 1080p. LED backlighting. I've looked for years with no success on finding any information on the panel technology. (I find as my condition progresses, I react more to this TV. But it's lightyears better than any other lcd type for myself.)
Zalman MZ240ED 24" LED 1080p DVI monitor with a TN panel.

Asus x205ta Laptop. 768p, TN panel. Atom core budget laptop.
A few older laptops with TN LED panels, unable to obtain model numbers.
HP Dv6-1334-US Laptop from 2009-ish TN panel / LED.

ASUS VE278H 27" 1080p TN Panel GTG monitor (Partial reactions, but not terrible)
* Live theatre 😉

(I haven't found many devices that are non-reactive unfortunately.
I have a Canon DSLR for PWM testing. Still reactive in the absence of PWM however.
So far with myself the only thing I can gather is safe is TN panel technologies, and not /all/ of them. As the condition progresses, some TN panels become more difficult as well.)

Sorry this is so long, I've been at this for many years... didn't know anyone else had problems likewise 🙂

    This is actually quite similar to me, a common factor I've found is that all the screens I can't use utilise polarised light. TN also does, but for me (and you it seems) some of them are ok.

    EDIT: scratch the bit about plasmas, just seen they are a no go for you.

    You might find the onyx book ereader android tablets useful. They use e-ink screens, which prevents using them for video, and can make web browsing tricky - but are great for anything primarily text based and about as eye friendly as it gets. I'm thinking of getting one to use for word processing (I'm a student). They are very pricey though for what they are.

    Might also be worth waiting around for amazon to release an electrowetting kindle/tablet. Its a new technology so can't say how eye friendly it will be, its in the same vein as e-ink but has good enough colour/refresh rates to display video. It doesn't use polarising filters, and doesn't need a backlight to work - so its a good bet it'll be easier on the eyes than lcd/amoled tablets.

      Man, one thing seems certain. Although many of us have the same symptoms, it seems like the causes are all over the place! Everybody is different...

      I just ordered a pair of TheraSpecs Over RX on Thursday night that utilize the FL-41 tint. We'll see how that goes. Normal yellow-tints like Gunnars don't seem to do the trick for me.

      I still think my issue in particular is due to the light source. 0% brightness and f.lux set to 5000K equals symptoms way down on my Dell U2410.

      NICE! When is this bad boy launching. Really want to try something like this. For years I have been waiting for an eink product with no backlight but never got to test one.

        The majority of e-ink tablets don't have backlights - is that what you meant?

        It was rumored to be released this xmas, but Amazon has been awfully quiet. It does appear to be genuinely in the works though as Amazon is currently advertising to hire 'engineers with product mass manufacturing experience' at liquivista (owned by Amazon), the place that makes electrowetting displays.

        Alexmam I should mention the Nexus 5 also has an LED backlight so that's an LED thing that works for you.

          JTL for some reason I have no problems with Nexus 5 screen, but my eyes hurt from Huawei Honor 6 plus which I currently use. I installed blue-light protection glass and it feels more comfortable to look at the screen. However, for watching movies long time I still put Jins glasses. Only like this my eyes are ok with that phone.

            JTL with phones it is easy - just install blue-light filter glass and problem almost solved.
            But with PC the problem is more complex because there are few factors, not only blue light: 1) video drivers, 2) flicker. Until now I couldn't find any new device which I can use.

            I can work in Windows 7 on 2012 LED laptop with Standard VGA driver long time. But when I tried Windows 10 on the same laptop with Standard VGA, my eyes hurt after 15 mins.

              I do think Microsoft did change the standard VGA drivers between Win7 and Win10

                JTL I don't understand, what could they change in driver so it makes people's eyes hurt

                    I am 68 years old. About seven months ago, I experienced a painful & on-going injury when I inadvertently looked into an LED light from about 1 1/2 feet away. Since then, I am extraordinarily sensitive to the blue light radiation emanating from LED bulbs. Diagnosed with Photo-Oculodynia with a photosensitivity very specific to LED lighting. Being treated with Neurontin with fair to good results.

                    Yes, unfortunately the new eco friendly lghtbulbs are known human health hazards, but our government cares more about reducing electricity usage by 5 cents a year vs not harming it's citizens.

                    I encourage you to write your congressman and ask them to resubmit and support the BULB Act, which removes the restriction on incandescent lighbulb manufactur and sales so folks who are sensitive to lighting can light thier homes with bulbs that do not cause them discomfort.

                    • JTL replied to this.

                      ensete Make incandescent bulbs great again 😛

                      Is this going to turn into a political rant about the USA?

                        JTL No political rant. The BULB act was submitted by a Republican senator but defeated under the Democratically controlled congress at the time. Now that Republicans control the Congress I think it has a much better chance of passing.

                        This isn't a call to ban LED or CFL lights (although nothing would make me happier to see that), it's simply acknowledging that a portion of the population suffers from a sensitivity to eco-lighting, and those individuals should have the ability to purchase lighting for their homes that does not cause them pain.
