So you can forecast the future and can criticize something you have not even seen with your own eyes or felt with your hands, let alone made one, lol, to see if what you say has any substance, talk about having hubris, but thats ok, there are many people like that, let each one choose their path, you must be from some place at conflict with their neighbors constantly, that needs that attitude to make a living. May one day you follow the good light brother, until then, Au revoir! đź‘‹

With 30 years of experience into this matter, I can also say that the problem is not the spectrum of light, because that would be resolved with blue blocking glasses. Also, why would a CRT television from 90's and a video project cause eye strain, if it was the LED or the spectrum?

These LCD displays with some backlight gimmick or reflective technology are not going to help anyone who has a real issue.

    moonpie You have made your position clear that the causes of eye strain are more limited than what others have proposed. For those of us who wish to objectively evaluate factors such as spectrum (this topic), it would be helpful to keep the signal-to-noise ratio high.

    The possibility of heat damage to the display causing discoloration is a valid concern. I hope that their ventilation design, as well as the depth of the light box itself, will mitigate this. Time will tell.

    I suspect that a DIY design would prove more difficult than initially thought. For one, to get an even backlight (and to mitigate heat, as discussed above), one would likely have to experiment with diffuser characteristics and the gap between the bulbs and panel. If this company has solved these problems, personally I am willing to pay a reasonable premium versus attempting a DIY.

      So in your 30 years of experience you must have tried an incandescent backlit monitor right? otherwise what is backing your claims that it does not work if you have not used one

      I agree that there are many valid questions regarding new technologies and this incandescent monitor regarding heat dissipation and many other things, but the company has solved all these problems, it has been over 5 years of development, this is not something that came yesterday, many prototypes had to be built to arrive to the proper design and proper functioning. I can tell you that the heat dissipates perfectly, screen does not get hot, and there will be no discoloration of any kind as time goes on, that's non sense, back is glass.

      And regarding the spectrum, yes its the widest there is available, full 100 CRI, and yes spectrum does matter because infrared light is healing, and this spectrum has tons of infrared, and also its the nature of the photons themselves, which are incandescent and not luminescent, and people that were lucky to have lived around incandescent bulbs know how gentle this light is.

      make one and we can talk further.

      Why hate and speculate when you can help create and negotiate?

      How can you not appreciate these monitors, I mean, if you are into computers and monitors then these should have some value to you, even if its just for their noveltyness. But you seem very determined to discredit them and also what I say at any opportunity. is it something beyond that which you don't like? such as the culturo-religious aspect?

      moonpie we are all here because we are seeking a solution to our individual problems. Stop having a little tantrum and grow up. If this $1350 monitor solves a problem for someone, why not?

      moonpie The entire purpose of the product is to be defective by design.

      Hahahaa haters will be haters, its a shame that you are not able to appreciate this, and you are right that is has some oven like characteristics, like the shape and using the same kind of incandescent bulbs, but the rest of your discourse is purposefully distorted to support whatever end you have in mind, which must likely be emanating from an anti-Chtistendom impulse rather than from a genuine critique and evaluation.

      moonpie This is a $1350 Easy-bake Oven for liquid crystal displays, not a monitor.

      I believe the issue of heat damaging the panel remains to be determined. As stated, the ventilation through the light box is significant. The panel is not situated in an “oven” orientation where heat cannot escape. Furthermore, certain older CCFL-backlit monitors ran quite hot (to the tune of 140 watts of total power consumption), without having untimely panel degradation.

      moonpie Tough to sell a giant, inefficient 60hz sine wave monitor for $1350 without all that nonsense about IR and "digital light;" however, it would actually function as a monitor.

      The primary selling point of this monitor is not the modulation or frequency of the backlight, but rather the spectrum (hence the name). I’m not sure I’ve seen a justification from you to disregard the benefits of IR and near-IR light as “nonsense.”

      I unfortunately have read through this thread and found it to be thoroughly unconstructive, from all parties.

      @jordan @beyondthelight Please post more information/videos about the monitor, as has been requested multiple times since the thread was opened in September. There are valid concerns on this forum about the product being a potential scam.

      @moonpie While your critiques may or may not be valid, you do not offer any practical solutions or alternatives. A video projector may be a solution to the problem, but it's obviously not a screen and in a wholly different class of solutions than what this product purports to be. If you wanted to be helpful, provide links to specific products or informational threads on this forum.

      moonpie beyondthelight You waited 6 days to attack yourself with a lame facebook meme? Okay.

      @moonpie You criticize the other poster for personal attacks, and then proceed to do the very same thing. Nobody is obligated to respond to you within six days. As I said already, I found the above discourse to be not at all constructive.
