AGI What do you think about this theory? It does not convince me, because it is inconsistent with what I experienced with laptops, that lowering the resolution makes the eyestrain vanish. Unless it is not dithering that causes the eyestrain.
I have no idea since both ends of this idea are presented here. One saying low res is better because we aren't being fooled as much on the smoothness of edges of elements or by dithering, the other saying high res is better because we cannot notice, even on a brain level, that fake smoothness or dithering.
My personal experience is neither going low nor high has solved my problem, and as usual that could be because its irrelevant OR because some other factor is still interferring even if it were better low or high.
Intuition seems to fail me with this stuff often. For example you'd think since we have been reading books and papers with imperfect printed letters that such lack of true sharpness wouldn't matter, at the same time those imperfect edges aren't moving or flickering at all. Also I have no idea what the brain actually perceives and filters out, and what is beyond some threshold. People declare and repeat a lot of things but I am dubious as to the accuracy.
It's all just so frustrating.
