M3 (and previous models) minimal brightness level. Need your advice for a sensitive eyes case.
Hello, I need your advice. I have sensitive eyes. I usually develop eye strain quickly due to screen use.

Longtime Mac user, never had any problems til the iPhone 13 came out. The screen looked so sharp, and yet it was like I couldn't get my eyeballs to "land" on it.

Newer Safari version cause eye strain?
I have stumbled on a weird problem. It seems that any version of Safari greater than 13 on Mac OS causes eye strain and sometimes headaches. I can install 14 or 15 on my Mac running Catalina 10.15.7 and they both do it. If I revert to 13 it stops completely. The rest of the OS and apps are fine... -

Does anyone else have difficulty finding a monitor that doesn't cause eye strain?
So I've been using an imac for the past 11 years and built myself a new computer to upgrade. Problem is, every monitor I've tried seems to give me some pretty bad eye strain. My eyes burn and start to give me a headache not even 15 minutes after looking at them. I must have tried around 12... -
