Looking for the "softest" display panel (for your eyes)

[trobentica]

Hello all!

I have very sensitive eyes hence the question.

I'm looking for a display (that you might seen or try) that would give really "soft" and "confortable" picture. I must add that i already tried some lcds, laptops, crts, various led backlit devices, dlp projectors etc... but still, i didnt find a display that would really be gentle with my eyes. my eyes get very tired, even painful in 10 - 15 min of work.

any ideas?

(ps: yes, i've also visited many eye doctors; they ruled out direct eye problems, so i need to find a solution)

best regards;

tom

a lot of times brightness is a big factor in eye strain or sensitivity. many monitors come at a very high default brightness. toning it down a bunch can help, as well as having ambient lighting in the room to relieve eye-strain from the monitor being the only light source.

This will help you use pretty much any monitor without much eye strain.

One thing that helps is to put a light on the desk so that it cast a soft light against the wall behind the monitor, but not so the light is shining in your face. It helps prevent the monitor from being the only light in your field of view.

And this.

It's called "bias lighting."

"This bias-light principle applies to your computer workstation also. It reduces eye fatigue and, with the color temperature set to 6,500 degrees (or medium), saves your eyes."
