Depressed...
This issue seems to have turned us all into hoarders.
I have a stack of new CCFL monitors. Stacks of GPUs, stacks of motherboards so I can at least keep using win7 for media for time to come. More light bulbs than I'd like to admit
It makes you look like a crazy person. it's annoying finding somewhere to keep all this stuff too.
Gurm THAT is my magic Macbook
There is an early 2013 version and a late 2013 version of the MBPs. The early one has a GeForce GT 650M, the late one a GeForce GT 750M (but just the bigger models). Just for you to know. As far as I remember you said that the model you were so happy with was an early 2013 version...

I can confirm my good MacBook Pro is an early 2013 model. Absolutely PERFECT for all day usage.

AgentX20 Great that it is working for you. Which OSX version do you run? I think I experienced problems with 10.13.6 (High Sierra) and up (Mojave).
Could you please in addition note down the BIOS version?

Here are the details.
Sadly, I've been unable to find out how to get at the low level details to confirm the panel manufacturer. I know I've done it in the past, but I just can't find the right syntax/commands.
The only downside to this laptop is the screen anti glare covering has started to erode following screen cleaning but that's a small price to pay for comfort - and is largely invisible during everyday use.

Guys, are you now implying that a specific app on a phone or a browser on a computer can cause eyestrain!?!?
I thought the problem resided solely on OS updates. I ask because after factory-reseting my Android phone last May and never re-updating the app which I thought takes care of the graphics I have been experiencing again terrible eyestrain. Actually pain behind my eyes and in my neck. Crazy how seconds can trigger neck discomfort...
The only thing I did has been adding apps and updating apps except Chrome and Android WebView.
Like hpst, I start feeling desperate. Every day there is something new and worse, and I never come to a conclusion :-(
I cannot comment on Android, but I am convinced that certain applications on Windows 10 can cause me problems (significant discomfort) ie Firefox, the newest Chrome and also Lockheed Martin's V4 of Prepar3d (flight simulator). Why them and nothing else I have no idea at all...
Gurm Geeez, to me nightmare n.2 after the factory-reset of May started exactly in early September...
However, there seems to be something in the light which bothers me and did not before...that is my main point...it hurts even if I watch a football game, even if I just stare at the screen without reading...maybe Galaxy On5 is a cheap phone and the display got screwed? Aging?
I keep looking into e-ink options but not much is happening. Yotaphone 3 and soon HiSense A6 but they are not available where I live, and I would like a phone, not a portable movie theater screen :-(

JTL I read something somewhere that Apple did this on purpose, though no evidence was offered to prove this. Supposedly people were running the command and returning their laptops because they had an LG panel like AgentX20's, and they were looking for a Samsung panel instead. This part I do believe.
