LCD monitor question

Nevakonaza · 10-10-2008, 07:05 PM

Hey guys,

dunno if you remember but i made a post some time back about my 22" lcd monitor makes my eyes hurt and go realy dry.

some people suggested i up the refresh rate to its fullest which it was alerady at 60htz or whatever it is,i turned my brightness to 45% and the contrast to 70% i think but it still makes my eyes hurt and gives me bad headeach.

but its horribly dark at those settings and like i mentioned it still gives me problems.

so i thought i would use just my 19" belinea LCD for a week and see if its better and its at 35% brighness and 70% contrast and i have not had dry eyes or headeach since.

question is though,what is it with my other monitor thats causing my problems you think?

because i just have a 22" monitor sitting there now doing nothing.

Do you have any lights on around you when using the 22"?

yeah they asked me that last time,i started putting the light on when i use the pc but still makes me ad.

it just seems to be that 22" monitor,its the same make as my 19" which is okay.

That's really strange... Maybe it's the bigger resolution on the 22" causing more strain on your eyes?

I didn't see your previous post on this, so I may be repeating what has already been said. If this is a glare issue due to the increased screen size, then maybe wearing some weak sunglasses might help alleviate this. Just a thought. An anti-glare screen might help, but they look to be expensive. I also found this link on monitor ergonomics which may provide some helpful info.
