Acer AL2216W 22 inch lcd monitor giving me eye strain?This monitor has been giving me killer eye strain for 2 years now, the burning sensation and painful spasms been the worst. Been experimenting like crazy. What are the ideal brightness/contrast to minimize eye strain? Right now it's at brightness 0 contrast 35 and it's more than 30 inches away.
You should pick a high refresh rate and a low resolution like 800x600 or 600x400. I sometimes still get eye strained in 1024x768.
Regardless of the brand, it isn't the monitors fault.it's your eyes. If you already wear glasses, maybe you need a different correction for that distance. If you don't have glasses alreadymaybe you need some. You are possibly just experiencing dry eyes also. Refreshing drops every couple of hours may help while on the computer. There is no ideal brightness and contrast. It's adjustable because not everyone likes it the same way. You should get an eye exam to help determine the problem. Hyperopia, astigmatism , dry eyes, could all be causes.
