deepflame Thanks. Could you please clarify what you mean with "native" resolution? Is not that the highest resolution laptops come set up at?
As said, with Windows 10 the trick which worked under XP and Windows 7 ended. Had you guys tested lower resolution also with previous OSs?
After the unpleasant discovery following the upgrade to Windows 10 I have never used that OS anymore.
I was given a MacBook Air at work. I always thought I could not handle such a Mac, but after a few weeks of discomfort I realized it was the lighting in the office to bother me and not the display. It is a

I have not run any software update since April/May after reading this forum. This sort of breaks my theory, that what looks bad within seconds is unusable.
I also work with shared PCs. They all run on Windows 7. In most cases, since they are connected to scientific equipment, software updates are disabled by the administrators and screen resolution is not set to the highest. I certainly do not use them the whole day but do not have problems.
I would really like to hear a technical explanation why lowering the resolution helped (okay, for me, not for everyone) until Windows 10. I am not sure I am capable of rendering the idea of what I feel, but it is like at the highest resolution my eyes can distinguish each single pixel, and each single pixel does not look "stable", so I guess my eyes or my neurons go nuts because they have to deal with too many, useless details. I think in English you guys would probably say "my eyes see the trees instead of the forest"?
