OLED cannot make my eyes red and burning even after 24 hours of looking at the screen. We need something better to emulate CRTs properly.

- onli 2y agoIs that true? Was there something to the technology that was harder on the eyes?

On a CRT, an unrefreshed image immediately fades away. For desktop computing, the minimum ergonomic standard refresh rate was usually 70Hz. Even that was an eye strain over prolonged usage. I remember using 85Hz on my 1990s Eizo CRT.
