Hey everyone 👋
We’d love for you to share your experiences with every monitor you’ve tested.
Include the model and any eye or body symptoms (headache, migraine, nausea, dizziness, neck tension, etc.).
Together, we can build a group database to find the most comfortable screens. 💡

Rate each monitor:
🟦 Perfect – no strain at all
🟩 Safe – almost no discomfort
🟧 Not Good – noticeable strain or mild symptoms
🟥 Very Bad – strong strain, migraine, nausea, or severe symptoms

🟥 Very Bad - 27" MSI MAG 274UPDF E16M (Fast Nano IPS, Mini-LED (1152 zones) I had a strong and very intense feeling of vomiting, nausea, headaches from the monitor every 5-10 minutes. I felt terribly disgusting. I couldn't concentrate anymore and after 2 days I had to return the monitor.

🟥 Very Bad - 34" Arozzi 34T2K165 Ultrawide monitor. I also felt the feeling of vomiting there every 5-10 minutes, but much weaker. It's a VA panel without mini-led, but I think the new LED backlight does something with PWM. So the second monitor was not accepted for me either and I returned it.

🟦 Perfect - Dell U2715H. Basic, boring, stable. At least for my eyes. Only 60hz, but full 8-bit with no monitor-based FRC at all.
🟩 Safe – Various LG monitors including LG 27GQ40W (1080p, 165hz) and LG 27G610A (1440p, 200hz). Both true 8-bit with no monitor-based FRC, but you have to disable all the dynamic lighting and dynamic framerate features. I find these better for gaming than the Dell, but not as good for still images.
🟥 Very Bad – surprisingly the ASUS VP32aq causes me instant strain. Supposedly it's quite good and stable, or at least the 27" model is supposed to be, but I turned this off very quickly after trying it out and have listed it for sale.

(Not sure why my color boxes are so big, I cut and pasted yours… anyone want to tell me the trick to make them look right?)

Gurm They somehow got converted from Unicode to image embeds. Fixed now.

🟩 Safe – almost no discomfort - BenQ GW2780T (No HDR). I had a small adjustment period, but nothing like walking into an Apple store, Best Buy, or Costco and looking at TVs and other devices. It was fairly easy to get used to. Mine is an older 6+2FRC (I didn't know this when I bought it), but newer models are said to be true 8 bit (BenQ rep mentioned this when I had questions quite a while back).
