BenQ XL2411Z eye strain/headaches
Posted: 10 Mar 2016, 17:16
Hi,
I recently bought a refurb'ed Asus VG248QE, over all I liked it but it had a dead pixel so I returned it.
I then decided to get a BenQ XL2411Z because I read that it was better and had better featured including stuff to prevent eye strain. (Asus didn't give me any problems with eye strain, go figure)However in the week an a half I've had this I'm getting nothing but eye strain. I use it just for gaming , maybe 2 hours at night. I don't feel it too much as I'm playing, but when I wake up the next day my eyes are noticeably sore. Today my eyes and head are killing me, its effecting my eye sight a bit.
I really just want to return it and re-buy a NEW Asus VG248QE, but I hate being stuck with a restock fee and shipping. Overall I like the BenQ better, I find the color and quality much better. But not worth losing my eye sight over.
Anyway, I have tried a few different settings already, but it doesn't seem to help. I've had the low blue light option turned up high, with blur reduction on.... and I've tried turned everything off, seems to be worse. I've had it in standard mode with the brightness turned way down when blur reduction is off. 20 or so. (with blur reduction on the screen is a bit dark anyway)
I'm not sure if there anything else I can try? But before I return this I thought maybe someone might have a similar experience and might have an idea?
Thanks
Jim
