I think I know why you had eye strain as I encountered the same issue, I had the S2719DGF and later tried the 24in variant both gave me eye strain that after 1hr or so I could not look at the screen, and I realized for this particular monitors it was the the anti glare coating/filter on the screen that would shimmer, and give me bad eye strain nothing I would do could fix it, brightness etc, and they were sent back, so I thought it was just a tn panel issue but later found out the is was the coating as I now have 1080p 2x TN 240hz screens, the LG27GK750-B & Alienware AW2518HF, with no eye strain 0%, also have the 1440p Acer XB271HU 144hz, also no eye strain, all these screens dont have a grainy coating far as I can tell, and definitely do not shimmer so no issues,
For the last five days I been testing out the LG 27GL850-B also no eye strain, and no grainy coating or shimmer, but it uses nano IPS so the colors are very vibrant, more so then the acer, I was comparing it to, maybe in your case as mentioned earlier you ll probably have to turn down the color a bit, to maybe stop your eye strain, I did my testing and sent the screen back, as the overdrive is was to aggressive, to mention the one of the many issue I had with it, and 4 years after the Acer XB27 I dont think big enough leaps have been made for me to justify keeping this screen, oh and 1 ms quoted is marketing flaff, so its gone back, maybe i ll test/compare the Viewsonic or Asus with Elmb-Sync next!!
Hope this helps with people with eye strain issues, I am sure there are a lot of other factor's, this is just my personal experience!
