LED Hurts my eyes

[Ryzone]

So I got this BenQ monitor a long time ago for my ps3 and now use it for PS4 and I love it cool little monitor and enjoy playing games on it. So I just now decided to try it out on my PC and use it as a second monitor but holy moly man this thing hurts my eyes. Its way too bright or something for me. Which is weird because I play PS4 games on it and it doesn't hurt my eyes. Heres the monitor http://www.benq.us/product/monitor/GL2450/features/   So I'm wondering if getting an IPS monitor will do the same thing because they seem a lot brighter then something like the ROG Swift. Anyways just wondering what your thoughts are.

If it bothers you.. cant you just reduce brightness?

Do not trust me as I am not a master of moniters.

But first just turn down the brightness if it is too bright and also ips supposedly is just a way to make images sharper I thought anyway but it may also be brighter

u can turn down the brightness, son ?!

Try tinkering with brightness, gamma and contrast to find what's optimal for your eyes.

Yeah the brightness was at 100 so I bumped it down to 50 but man it still hurt to read text on it. Maybe I should of went lower but at 50 brightness it was about the same as my ASUS VW246H so I don't know maybe I needed to go lower but it was too much for me.

ips makes the colors more accurate, and does not make the image sharper. A higher resolution makes images sharper.

Well thats good to know I was scared I wouldn't be able to enjoy an IPS haha

50% Brightness on Monitor A does NOT equal 50% brightness on Monitor B.

Turn the brightness down. Led lcd displays are way too bright. I have mine at 30% brightness. Even at 50% it'd kill my eyes.

if you find your eyes straining after long periods on the computer reading try changing the color temperature so it's not a blue so it's lower in the Kelvin scale it will make it a bit yellower but not hurt your eyes as much.

 

Usually it can be done in the GPU settings/software.

People suggesting to lower brightness clearly dont know how PWM backlight works. It flickers MORE with lower brightness.

 

For BEST eye comfort today you want:

- a FLICKER FREE (not flicker safe) IPS panel. IPS is a must. TN`s have backlight pulsing issues, on top of being just a low quality panel with that fucking flare.

- Which you keep @ max brightness.

- And use this perma on for day and night:    justgetflux.com

- Also, if you do any gaming at all. You really want to have freesync or gsync.

- Also, the higher refresh rate you can have, the easier it is for your eyes, but options on this is pretty limited still.

 

The cheapest flicker free freesync IPS monitor i know: 29um67, IPS, flicker free, 75hz, freesync.
