    New monitors: Maybe my eyes suck, but my set of two 21-inch LCD monitors from 2005 is still going strong

    Your eyes don’t suck. You just want to abuse them for some reason. Modern display tech is way easier on your eyes.

      How so? I’d expect two monitors showing the same thing at the same brightness would be physiologically identical.

      I got a OLED monitor and it gives me more eye strain then my old monitor. I’ve tried software and hardware setting and it still persists. Flux, dark mode, high contrast settings, brightness settings. Tried it all, unless there is something I missed.

      I use it sparingly now while playing FPS games (picture is amazing by the way, wish my eyes weren’t like this)

      My eyes would bleed at the sight of my laptop’s 1366x768 TN panel if I got used to anything better! Those are the “good” monitors haha.
