I have been struggling with eye strain myself for six months severely and am just finding this sight. I think I am ordering an AMD graphic card to see if that completely elevated it. When i say eye strain i mean the ocular muscles around the eye, edge, and the temple. particularly for me its lighter everywhere and heavies on my left eye on the outer upper left edge if that makes sense. If i am on the screen for a while i can feel it when not using my screen by simply focusing
Things that have helped me:
Quantum Dot monitor from Samsung
Getting rid of Intel NUC
Dithering set enabled not auto or disabled, I use temporal dithering not static or dynamic,6 bit color not 8 bit, and Color range that is full.
Powermizer set to prefer maximum performance (Nvidia 1050 SC graphics)
Digital vibrance set to zero can help but i prefer color most of the time.
I used to have an INTEL NUC and that is when it got really bad. I thought it was the lighting. Since then I have built a machine.
I am going to read through the forums to see what I find on AMD graphics cards. I may also try switching to some version of Windows. Have to see. But if my eye strain was not here. my productivity as a programmer would literally be 10x. but thats just not the case when focus is interrupted by biological function. its hell but there must be a way through this. I mean other people look at screens without the type of eyestrain, there must be something that can solve out problems as well.
I am getting led strips delivered tomorrow as well. I had bulbs but the flicker was detectable through my smart watch camera. I ordered a power supply to drive them with DC current. I even called the Mean Well power supply manufacture and asked them about ripple (AC current seeping in to DC current outputs). They said it should not be an issue. The kelvin temperature is cold white. somewhere above 5500k i think.
Have to see but i wanted to post here before i went to bed.
Be well.
