which displays are better for eyes? smaller or bigger.

[woolrang]

if other things (like resolution ) remain the same which displays are more comfortable for eyes.
or example this laptop
http://www.flipkart.com/hp-10-h005ru-x2-slatebook-tegra-4-2gb-64gb-emmc-android-4-2-jelly-bean-touch/p/itmdn4bhmzwjvcgk?q=HP+10-h005RU+X2+Slatebook+%28Tegra+4%2F+2GB%2F+64GB+eMMC%2F+Android+4.2+%28Jelly+Bean%29%2F+Touch%29&as=on&as-show=on&otracker=start&as-pos=p_2&pid=COMDN4BAPUDD7WYN
and this monitor
http://www.lg.com/levant_en/monitors/lg-22EA53
have near about same resolution [(1920*1200) and 1920*1080], both are ips. but one is 10inch and other is 21.5. which will be less tiring for eyes.

similarly if resolution is 1366*768 a 14in screen laptop is better or a 15.6 inch for eyes

My sense is that it depends on the condition of your eyes. For me, the 21.6-in at higher res would be much better.

Proper brightness of the backlight is probably the most important for eye fatigue. In general, people have their monitors too bright. (It shouldn't be brighter than a piece of paper properly lit in that rooms illumination.)

Second would be if the LED backlight does PWM. Don't get a monitor with PWM if you can help it.

Neither are dependent on size or resolution.

i use light in the background and keep the brightess to less than 40%. I start feeling pain and headache with glossy screen in 30 min. matte screens are much better and i can work on them for long duration but tired remains in the eyes.
People suggested using IPS screen so i am looking for them .
can you please tell if this screen will be any good http://www.lg.com/levant_en/monitors/lg-22EA53

I found even a small 18" HD Dell flat panel made a distinct improvement over my older tube monitor. I think on the high end much over 22" starts getting too large to take in if you are sitting at a desk. At work I adjusted my monitors to enlarge the browser by about 120% or so. A lot of websites often try to use print that is too small for anyone over 40. I typed this on a 40" Samsung HDTV.

thanks for replying. i am 27 and vision is not much of an issue. i wear glasses of power around +1.

Can't tell if that LG uses PWM. I'm guessing it does being a white LED. Don't know how high the modulation rate is though. (Higher is better if it bugs you.) If it's high enough it might not bug you. Only way to be sure is to find a model that's listed as having no PWM or get one with a CCFL backlight. (CCFL may still use PWM but it's likely to be less noticeable because it doesn't strobe to full dark to full brightness as quickly.)

Personally I hate PWM. The flicker drives me up the wall. I guess that's why all my monitors use CCFL and my TV is a plasma.

If your monitor uses PWM you might have it too dim. Try brightening the room a bit and turning it up to say 70%. See if that makes it better. As you get to higher brightness the PWM becomes a little less problematic because it flashes on and off at much faster rates. Of course, then you have the problem with the monitor being too bright. Annoying, I know. Check http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/flicker_free_database.htm for at least some of the PWM free monitors. No LG is on the list.

Good Luck!
