I have experienced that eyes strain much lesser while using a LCD display instead of an LED display. Experienced this pretty much consistently. LEDs start hurting my eyes after some time. And I use a MBP with Retina display for long hours - and I have to say, it has never put stress on my eyes at all (unless I make the screen too bright). Also I do not work at super-high small font resolutions - that allows me to keep distance from the screen. The only thing that I find better than it is Kindle reader.

Your MBP contains what is commonly called an "LED" display - an LCD with LED backlight.

Do you mean a LCD display with fluorescent tube as light source, instead of an LCD display with an LED as light source? Your MacBookPro with Retina display uses an LCD with LED light source too - it's just an LCD panel with IPS technology instead of the TN technology (common in cheaper desktop monitor panels).

I hate HN lately. Now you can get downvoted for your personal experience. Take my upvote.

  He probably got downvoted for messing up the technical terms as castell and geococcyxc pointed.

    Huh, I hadn't even considered that as a reason. Oh HN, I am disappoint.

Ah. Thanks castell, geococcyxc, emsy. I didn't know what Retina display uses. I guess my experience is simply due to cheaper TN panels.
