For the sake of my eyes, I have wanted to switch from using a secondary computer monitor to a projector. I imaging switching looking from primary monitor at 2 feet vs projector screen at 8 feet would be good exercise for the eyes.
Does anybody have recommendations for a good projector? I care less about color fidelity, given that this is for work, and more about excellent contrast in a lit room, and resolution.
- crazygringo 2y agoI think you can go to an optometrist and get glasses that will achieve the same effect. I'm nearsighted and wear glasses when I watch a play/movie/etc. with faraway detail, but I wear a second, different pair of glasses when working in front of a close screen. They don't make anything sharper, but I have zero eye strain now while working. My optometrist says it's a common thing in your 40's to start to need that.

- plun9 2y agoI use a projector and TV side-by-side as monitors. The TV provides better contrast during the day. Unfortunately, the projector model I use—Dell S718QL—has been discontinued. You can look at reviews of recent ultra short-throw (UST) models such as ones from Epson, Hisense, LG, or Samsung. For best results, pair a UST projector with an ambient light rejecting (ALR) screen.
