A little confused

jasonpicard I am also able to watch a full hockey game on my dad's OLED TV. I think OLED has significantly less of a blue light spike.

MagnuM that's good news. I was wondering the same thing with the OLED TV's. They cost too much at the moment. Plasma TV's off of Kijiji right now are 200-400 dollars. I bought one about two months ago for 180.

Can you use the plasma as a monitor? I mean as far as lag and text clarity? I have a top of the line BenQ flicker free and still get quite sever headaches with very little use.

ShivaWind I don't think they make plasmas any smaller than 40", so you may have to have a large room and a wireless keyboard and mouse if you want to do that

ShivaWind I have used the plasma for years as a monitor but broke it. They are not designed for still images.

MagnuM that's what I used to do.

I am currenly using 2 13 inch black and white monitors that cost $1000 each, so the sky is pretty much the limit for what I would do to be able to use technology without cripling headaches. the flicker on mouse move is the one that still gets me. its like there is a cone of flicker that extends down and to the right from the mouse pointer.

jasonpicard Why bother with LED computer monitors if you have to wear colored glasses just to use them? Why not reduce your exposure by using a CCFL.

Also, do you ever do any color-sensitive work that you can't have color-shifting occur on (web page design, photography, etc)

ShivaWind Have you ever tried any of the exercises recommended for "See Sick Syndrome"? Try Googling it and see if it seems to match your description.

ShivaWind (though its hard to find research because its still classified)

I could probably make one in an hour with an Arduino board I have. Only hard part is sourcing enough horrible blue LED's and a diffuser.

It's only a matter of time before light induced harm is used as malware, if its not already.

welp, I have access to an EEG, if you build it I could hook myself up and you could zap me and see what my brain does... If that aint science I don't know what is

MagnuM I find ccfl just as bad. Lucky for me I don't have to work on a computer all day. Almost all ccfl's use pwm. Actually up to about a month ago I wasn't even using a computer. I was only using my cell phone. I'm waiting for that clear ink technology to come out. Or maybe e ink will speed up and become cheaper. Nothing is better to my eyes then reading my Yotaphone 2 in the sun. If that onyxmax book pro was cheaper I would be interested. I was considering buying it but reviews aren't the greatest on it.

jasonpicard
never used the Boox Max 2, but I have Dasung paperlike Pros, and they are a life saver. The speed is great, and looks to be much better than Boox Max 2, but I cant be sure. I pretty much only use Eink at this point. I was going to have to change career before I got them.

ShivaWind I looked around for them, they are hard to obtain and are quite expensive for 13in screen. Do they work with everything? Like all win 10 version, all different graphics cards etc... you just plug it into anything that has hdmi and the headache is gone?

ShivaWind I saw a review comparing the Dasung and book Max 2 and it looked like the book Max 2 was faster. Either way whatever works at this point. I was going to buy both at one point but I'm going to wait a little bit longer. The clear ink will be killer if it comes out. 33 fps and color no back light. Capable of playing video easily.

JTL The people who make LED billboards seem to have an endless supply of horrible blue LED's. A couple in my town have had to be taken down because they caused REGULAR people to have accidents, this is a neural weapon.
