So, it have started in 2020 when I purchased Acer Nitro AN 515-54 with IPS and felt eyestrain and dizziness immediately. Before I have a Dell Inspiron 5520!with TN. which I used for 7 years. No eyestrain at all, I can sit for 10-12 hours without problem.
I thought that eyestrain with Acer would disappear with time, because I never felt something like that. I tried flux, Iris, blue blockers, external monitor (Dell P2419H with IPS and curved Samsung with VA). Nothing helped. I go to eyedoctor (I have a bad eyesight), bought eyeglasses. Then I go to another eye clinic. I made a LASIK. Now my eyesight is perfect, but it didn’t helped with laptop. I went to another clinic and had a 4 procedures of IPL to solve problem. I sold Acer Nitro, bought Macbook Air M2. I used it for two weeks, but I felt a eyestrain. Not huge, but mild.
When I dont use these devices that gives me eyestrain Im feeling fine. The only device that I can use without eyestrain is my old iPhone 8 Plus and TVs (but only when not connected my PS5). Even iPhone 11 gives me a problem. I dont know what to do. Maybe try a OLED devices, modern laptops with TN or stick with something like MBP 2015/2017. I really don’t know. Because I am filmmaker and I need something a bit powerful for video editing.

Devices that gives eyestrain:
