Eyestrain solved after 6 years and multiple panels - LG 32gk850g

anyone I bought and can recommend the VA249 by Asus.

K-Moss do you know the minimal brightness value of VA249? (currently, I have to use Eizo's IPS model because I need quite low minimal brightness but I would love to try VA).

K-Moss ok thank you, I'll take a look at both (but I need really low brightness so most of the monitors don't fit my needs).

anyone The LG seems to have a high minimum brightness?

Brightness 150cd/m² (Min.), 200cd/m² (Typ.)

K-Moss yep, that's very high brightness

K-Moss oh, yes, thank you, I know about this list (that's how I choose my Eizo), but there are no good VA models there (actually I'm pretty sure VA monitors with a very low brightness doesn't exist so I asked just in case).

K-Moss yes, I'm using F.lux.

K-Moss I got that LG monitor, and it has a few issues. Its not a 8 bit panel, and it using horrible static dithering thats very visible with some shades. Images also look lower resolution thanks to this. It also has strong inversion flickering. Its not the worst on the eye, but its not a good monitor overall, not worth buying.

Random Which LG exactly? I made my posts in this thread quite a while ago.

K-Moss Sorry i didnt notice the post is so old. The LG 24MK400H-B is not very good. This monitor also confirmed me that AMD does color dithering, because the static dither on the monitor becomes very "noisy" when its enabled. I was able to turn AMD dithering off with regedit, and all the noisy animated pattern is gone. But the inversion is big issue with this cheap monitor.

I'm that kinda person that cannot stay in front of a screen for long enough. One of my friends suggested me a monitor BenQ GW2480 24 Inch IPS Monitor and it is one of the best monitors I've used. I couldn't find this monitor anywhere. I started looking online and I found this website: best computer monitor for eye strain. They have pretty decent types of computer monitors ranging in different prices.

So basically nobody really knows what causes the eye strain. I'm beginning to think the problem of eye strain is a multifaceted issue. For me the following measures collectively have made a difference. I can't say which one of them is the most effective one, since they all seem to help:

• Increasing the font size and sitting further back, because it's easier to focus on "far and big" than "near and small". Also, near and small forces your eyes to converge (at the extreme you'd be crossing your eyes), which is also tiring.
• Using the Night Light function in Windows (basically a blue light filter I think, the screen turns reddish).
• Adjusting display brightness to match ambient light levels.
• Using a monitor with deeper blacks for better contrast (this enables you to turn down the brightness even further and still see detail).
• Using a flicker-free display. My Samsung phone is not flicker-free and it starts raping my eyes within seconds.
• Placing the monitor at a comfortable viewing height, that is, with the top bezel slightly below eye height.
• Using a larger display because a bigger screen keeps my eyes moving and refocusing all the time, depending on which part of the screen I'm looking at. On a small screen eye movement is more constrained and feels a bit like sitting in a plane seat for hours which can cause discomfort and you feel the need to stretch your legs.
• Placing a light behind my monitor pointed at the wall to create a light bias. This results in a more even distribution of light over the retina, rather than just a bright rectangle surrounded by darkness.

I'm new to the forum, and wanted to say I concur. It's absolutely multifaceted. I went into my eye doctor complaining about neck and shoulder pain, dry eyes, tired eyes, hard to maintain eye contact with people close to me, eyes hurting during work hours, and all the rest. He had a machine to do testing and suggested rather eye therapy, or contoured prisms ("Neurolens"). I took the glasses approach, and have experienced immense relief. This is anecdotal, but if anybody here has tried literally everything else, consider giving the Neurolens a shot. Worse case scenario, you return them and get your money back. Eye therapy is also effective, though I haven't tried that.

In terms of monitors, I recently got some curved anti-flicker VA panels, and set them further back on my desk, and it's been wonderful. Sure, they have less color, but the lack of punchy colors and vividness has been nice. In addition to the neurolens, although I haven't been cured by any means, the eye strain/pain has rarely been something I think about. It's there, as I notice once or twice in a week, but most of the time it's barely an inconvenience.
