Monitor cause eye redness and feel burning sensation.

[Ibrahim Pasha]

Hello,

 

I recently bought "AOC G2460VQ6" and despite it's claim of flicker free or anti blue light it causes my eyes to slowly turn red and feel burning sensation.

My old "ASUS VW220" didn't cause any discomfort at all and I tried to switch back to it and all my eye problems are gone.

Then I switch back to my new AOC monitor and symptoms start appearing again.

What do you think that causes this and if you are going to say buy a new monitor can you recommend me a specific model?

 

Edit:

I am using f.lux for last 4 years and it is set to "Reduce Eye Strain" mode.

I don't think there is problem with blinking as in my other monitor there is no problem.

1 month ago I went to 3 different Eye Doctors for other reasons and they all said my eyes are fine.

Brightness of monitor is set to 0 and contrast is set to 10.

I don't see any other difference from this and my old monitor is that old one was LCD and this one is WLED.

Try a blue light filter, like f.lux. Also try turning the brightness down a bit.

Try nightlight on WIndows 10 and see if it helps. In any case I would advice you to get an eye checkup.

There are alot of DSE practises that you should be doing to prevent eye strain and redness.

 

1. 20-20-20 Rule

Look away at your monitor for 20 seconds at something around 20 feet away, and do this every 20 minutes.

This will reset your eyes every now and then so your eyes don't suffer from strain from looking at an articial LED for an extended period of time.

 

2. Blink.

As simple as it sounds, blinking every few seconds lubricates your eyes so the rays off your monitor do not affect your retinas as much as if your eyes were completely dry from now blinking.

 

3. Blue light filtering

There are plenty of blue light filtering methods, such as

• Built-in Windows night light feature
• Setting the warmth on your monitor
• Buying some blue light filtering glasses

I would also advise that you visit your doctor and have your eyesight checked, as suffering from deteriorating eyesight from a computer monitor is irreversible and you cannot recover from it. Have it checked out.

I have the same issue generally with TVs and office monitors. Especially calibrated ones.

 

My eyes seem to be more sensitive to light as I can definitely see more than others in dark conditions. I don't know if we're the same though.

 

However I would tell you to try lowering gamma settings in your display, if it's via graphics driver, windows, or the monitor itself. If it doesn't solve anything, try moving down brightness, then contrast.

 

Back when I was working in an office, I have my standard TN panel 4:3 HP monitors set to 0% brightness and 35% contrast.
