Possible solutions to prevent eye-strain<\/h1>\n

\"choosing<\/p>\n

Recently, one of my friends asked me to help with his problem, who suffers from Migraine and is very sensitive to LCD\/LED monitors… He cant watch even 5 minutes to TV\/LAPTOP\/PC\/MOBILE, without starting headache, eye-strain, and he even needs to get some medicines… So, he asked me if I could find any solution or help him somehow… \u00a0I’ve tried to make a small research, and after reading a few resources, I have concluded, that 2 factors play the main role for your heath – Monitor<\/b> and Glasses<\/b>. Let’s start with first.<\/div>\n
\n

==== 1st factor: MONITORS ===<\/span><\/h1>\n

First and most important factor with regard to your eyes and health, is a monitor, of course. It is the main source of image\/light\/radiation, that affects your eyes. Everyone remembers the time we had CRT(with a large back-side) monitors, that was really a stress for eyes.<\/p>\n

\"old<\/p>\n

However, that age is gone, and now we have better technologies for displays. Nowadays (at this moment- 2017), \u00a0there are two types of monitors , that are specially created to reduce eye-strain: \u00a0E-INK monitors<\/i><\/strong>\u00a0and several specific\u00a0LED monitors<\/i><\/strong> (some people call them LCD, but they are different termins in details)<\/i>.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0A) special LED Monitors (anti-glare, flicker free, low blue-light )<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

\"new<\/p>\n

At this moment, I know that BenQ<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is well-know to produce special monitors , which come with: Anti-glare (a.k.a. Anti-reflect), zero-flicker and Low-Blue-Light technology<\/strong>. Note, that some monitors come with only one of those parameters.\u00a0(also, some people mentioned other\u00a0firms too:\u00a0Qnix<\/strong> or Xstar; <\/strong>HOWEVER, I WONT RECOMMEND THEM, because they have not even their own website\/certifications at all).\u00a0 At first, I’ve copied here a recommendation from other IT-guy:<\/p>\n

\"Obtain 144Hz(refresh rate) monitors instead of 60-75Hz! It makes a huge difference in headache, because your eyes are less strained. It feels like you are looking at the painting. With \"<\/b>zero<\/strong>\" flicker at 60hz you may experience migranes, because actually the flicker is still there! (so, it's a bit misleading. Even though the technology is different, but it still needs to pulse the light). At 144hz that issue is almost non-existent. I can sit with this monitor for 6-8 hours (but I don't, of course). The whites are not as bright here either, so it doesn't burn your eyes like many monitors I had in the past (hence LED). That white glow is a killer on top of crappy 60hz flicker. Trust me, you won't look back at 60hz monitors again.\"<\/b><\/code><\/span><\/p>\n

The models I was interested, are many, but especially (as nowadays no-one can be trusted easily in internet, talking about smth, at first, it needs to mention, that I have no interest to advertise specifically something. Everything I write below, is based on real facts I have been searching over google and forums, so, you can search yourself too and ensure…):<\/p>\n
