ASUS VG248QE monitor HELP

[videogamer939]

Hello i just recieved a ASUS VG248QE monitor and my eyes have never hurt so bad in my life.

I am running it at 144hz.

I have standard mode calibrated to brightness 55 and contrast 80 red/blue/green 90.


I don't have a professional calibrator.


When playing games i am using Game Mode and it looks so pretty i love it.

Game mode is default out of the box setting.

Is there something wrong i am doing?

My eyes feel like they are gonna fall out.

What mode do you guys play games with?

And what are your calibration settings maybe the one out of the box for game mode is just too intense? But it looks so god damn pretty

Please help me.

Also i cant seem to upload any icc profiles in windows 8. Whenever i upload it nothing changes...

So it looks great, but it strains your eyes at the same time?

What kind of FPS are you using, and perhaps you need to lower the brightness if you are ultra sensitive to light.

I have never had this issue before i got it.

The FPS on Dead Space 3 is always above 120. Unless *** goes crazy then drops to usually 90.

On gaming mode the colors look amazing. Brightness is 90 and contrast is ether 100 or 80 not 100% sure.

What do you guys usually use for your gaming settings.

With a 3D Vision monitor, my monitor is extra bright, as a result, in 2D mode, I have brightness at 30%, in 3D with glasses on, it goes to 100% automatically.

brightness at 30% is so dark. You lose so much out of it

 

[videogamer939]

Im at 55% right now and its bothersome how dark it already is you lose the colors.

Yours has lightboost, so it probably works differently than mine. Just use the brightness required.

What type of monitor did you have before? Most people don't experience this type of eye strain from a modern monitor. I'm just trying to figure out what is causing it for you.

LG W2361V was my old monitor. My eyes are burning!!!

I have no idea what would cause this issue, if it also happens at the desktop. Make sure you don't have it set to 1080i or something other than 1080p.

Try blinking and taking breaks. It sounds like you are having bloodshot eyes.

I wish my eyes wouldn't get bloodshot after two hours of hardcore bf3

mega thread...some say to only use standard mode

Thread is a little old, but this could be due to some newer monitors (this one possibly included) are including LED backlighting that uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to simulate decreasing brightness. This results in the LED flickering on and off very quickly, undetectable by the human eye, but it can cause some extreme eye strain and headaches/migraines in some people.

I had a 27" 1440p Auria monitor from Microcenter that I loved, but couldn't stomach looking at for more than 20-30 minutes before having horrible eye strain, headaches, and sometimes even nausea. I think the glossy finish and sitting too close to a large monitor may have been factors too, but I've always been a little more sensitive to LCD screens since the CRT switch, so PWM or very high brightness may be pushing my eyes over the limit.
