LG 32UN650/32UN880 4k 60Hz - No eye strain, no headaches.
Which is very interesting, because to me all BOE panels I've tried immediately caused nausea, as they have grainy coating and aggresive backlight to my eyes. OTOH Innolux and some AUO panels do not cause these problems. LG depends on particular panel, but harsher than Innolux for sure. Sadly Innloux often have low contrast, below 1000:1.
I`m using LG 27UP850N-W with MacBook Pro 16" m1 pro. This monitor is great for eye care. Strongly recomended
VSABALAIEV78 I would advise to be careful with BOE panel based screens, as none of them have shifted bluelight peak (high phototoxicity) , which means they might be comfortable for someone eyes (not for my) , but unhealthy nonetheless. I mean I get that, if the only thing that works for you is BOE, then yeah use it, but before try Eyesafe and TUV Hardware Low Blue light certified panels, and make sure none of the fit you.
You can try the Reading
mode in monitor settings to reduce the blue light. In this case, the screen feels like a paper. + use scaled resolution x2 (1080p)
VSABALAIEV78 Well, unfortunately using reading mode neither provides good protection against high energy blue light, as the blue light peak still stays in high energy zone (450 nm instead of 460 or at least 455 nm) nor it maintains good color. I mean, yes it is better tha nothing, but Eyesafe monitor during normal operation has same amount of harm, as a regular one in "Low blue light" mode, and in Low Blue Light mode, an Eyesafe device will have almost zero harm (related to blue light).

Which monitor models have "Eyesafe" or "TUV Hardware Low Blue light"? - just to name a few?
I see that on some Asus models, but I had headaches from the previous monitor I had tried - Asus VA24DQ/VA24EHE.
EyeDiscomfortCertificate an Eyesafe device will have almost zero harm (related to blue light)
sometimes the advantage in blue light peak shift is not worth it though, as these monitors can still have really peaky backlights and just harsh feeling light emissions in general.
FWIW i seem to literally have less strain using monitors that look generally colder to the eye (but not TOO cold)
yellowish/greenish tint = strain for me

EyeDiscomfortCertificate I have the same experience with BOE. In the store though I looked at Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16ARP8 with this panel: NE160QDM-NY2. It seemed comfortable on the eyes, HOWEVER, it can be deceptive qs I was using it like for 5 min only. I may actually return to it and give a try at home. one last chance for BOE)) The panel actually has the latest EyeSafe cert plus low-blue light (as per Lenovo site > Specifications > Display), but like someone said above it means nothing in terms of actual eye strain in most cases.
