- amoeba 18y agoCheck that you have sufficient ambient light in the room. A bright screen against a darker backdrop can cause eye strain. White walls and a small, low-wattage light can fix this.
- chadgeidel 18y agoI don't remember where I read it, but diffuse light from the back of the screen is the way to go. Kind of like the Phillips TV "Ambilight" that was advertised on TV a few years ago. I do this and IMHO it works well. It takes a while to get the right amount of light for your room size/configuration but I feel my eyestrain has gone down significantly. Now if I can only get them to turn off half the lights at work...
