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 different monitors. I don't get this when looking at tablets/tvs/phones or my imac but for whatever reason, any new computer monitor I use does this. I'm wondering if it's the matte coating that they use, because I could feel the irritation was worse on certain monitors that had really poor quality coatings.
I've had my eyes checked and there are no issues there. So there has to be something that these displays are doing that my eyes are sensitive to. I just don't know how to solve that problem. On any 4k screen, I upscale the resolution so it's not so tiny. I keep the brightness low, use warm light filters (f.lux) to reduce color vibrancy and made sure all the monitors I tried were PWM flicker free. Does anyone else have problems like this? How did you solve the issue?
