technicalitch Have you tried a projector? do you have the same strain as with monitors? do you have the same problem with VA tvs or IPS tvs?
huge pupil pain in all ips panels. did i found source of problem?
Abeabe im not sure but i was using projector like 6 years ago and i had no problems as far as i remember. about va panel cant tell anything didnt tested it. what is ips tvs? its something different than regular ips?
update: i tried today to use asus tuf gaming monitor even with huge eye pain as much as i can stand but it completely destroyed me, i felt like i was close to death. total disaster to my brain, bod. all i know i will never adapt to this monitor no matter what, sadly.
technicalitch on reddit it seems a lot of people say va doesn't cause eye strain but ips does. So far the only LCD I can tolerate is my va tv, ips all seem bad for me. I want to try va monitor eventually

Will make a full post on this later but agree with VA, I have recently found the first truly comfortable "external monitor" I've ever used, and it's an old 42" Sharp Aquos LC-42D64U TV from 2007 which has a VA panel.
(Rather ironic my most comfortable monitor is a TV considering my username lol…)
It even lets me fully disable auto contrast enhancement (like a "randomly changing backlight and black level depending on screen contents" kind of thing) in the display section of the factory service menu which had nearly 200 pages of options, lol, it was super comprehensive and the setting was hidden away somewhere near page 150 I think
I've been using it for 2 weeks now (connected to a Windows desktop with integrated graphics) and the image is so beautifully crisp, pure, comfortable
It also has a CCFL backlight, plus one of the best matte coatings I've seen on a display with no "foggy haze" or "rainbow" effects while still 100% eliminating glare. Subpixels look crystal clear up close despite the matte coating… I have no idea how they managed to achieve this LOL
Color gamut and contrast is also soooo much nicer compared to my usable portable devices which mostly have TNs
I will post once I can reproduce this with a similar VA TV with a more suitable size for a monitor e.g. 30" or 26"
