Greetings. I ran into this problem not too long ago and was discouraged.

New(and many old) monitors,TVs,phones,video cards cause me a lot of pressure and eye strain. Later I bought myself some LED lamps for my desktop and found that they all cause the same symptoms! What the hell is going on

    Here are monitors that cause absolutely no discomfort -

    Aoc I2369vm (2013, AH-IPS, 6bit+frc)

    Aoc 24p2q (2020, IPS, 8bit)

      Fakir35 I haven't tried the Asus VP228DE- thanks for the suggestion.

      Luminous Yeah I experience the symptoms with a LED desk lamp as well! Indeed, what the heck is going on. Thank you for the suggestion on the two AOC monitors you can tolerate! If you ever find additional tolerable monitors please post (and I'll do the same).

      Well, I purchased several monitors and GPUs over the years. With various levels of burning eye and redness issue. I don't think it was a bad copy, because many would than be a bad copy. Anyway, there is no monitor that one can recommend. I purchased monitors based on other people's recommendation, but many were not good, even the old ones, TN, CCFL etc in combination with newer GPUs.

      Recently my parents bought a new computer and like me now they have blepharitis and red eyes. Which makes me believe it can be genetic. For them I can help with a set up that would make eye strain bearable. I wasn't able to help anyone else. That is all I wanted to say.

      If you/they have blepharitis, you probably also have or will have dry eyes. Get some lubricating drops especially during the winter and run a humidifier. An ingredient you will find in higher end drops is sodium hyaluronate or hyaluronic acid.

        I finally found a modern monitor that works for me by looking for ultra low-flicker monitors using a professional photodetector. I tested about 100 monitors and found only three that have virtually no flicker.

        I bought 11 (one for myself and 10 to resell at cost to see if it works for others). I created an eBay listing if anybody is interested in giving it a shot. I offer 60 day returns, so worst case scenario you have to pay for shipping both ways.

          Thank you for the advice. I already wrote on this site that this is not dry eye issue on its own. No such drops help, I tried already.

          GregAtkinson is the 27MQ450-B and the 27MP450-B the same monitor? I noticed you have the latter in your eBay listing pictures. I'm looking to order one from Amazon if so. I'm in dire need of a comfortable modern display device.

            bz12 that was a mistake on my part. They seem to be different monitors. Sorry about that.

            Also my return window is closing soon so I'm going to return all unsold monitors on Friday morning. Order by EOD Thursday if you want one.

              GregAtkinson I would but unfortunately I need to shop on Amazon, somewhere with a no hassle and free return policy, as it is 100% a gamble whether or not it will suite me.

              Asus PG248Q is what I used to use and it's fine. I really liked it.

              I don't know if this is a pro or con, but the color banding is very apparent lol.
