I will give a review of the BenQ monitor soon. This is my first day back on the computer since I strained my eye heavily using the BenQ, so I want to take it easy.
I was so elated that I could use a monitor again that I was on the computer for 6-8 hours the first day I used it and I ended up with terrible eyestrain. I suspect that with even a good monitor my eyes will not be as resilient as they were before this whole fiasco started.
Because my eyes have been weakened from years of eyestrain, even reading from paper gives me eyestrain and it's not fair for me to judge this monitor without using it for several days consecutively without binging.
It's hard for me not to be skeptical at such an improvement, but so far this monitor seems to be only a little worse than reading from paper, which would make it an enormous improvement over my previous PWM-free monitor, the HP ZR2740w.
