Heavy eye strain with new notebook

[fjmocke]

I recently purchased a Dell Lattitude E7440 notebook. I immediately noticed tremendous eye strain. I cannot look at the notebook for longer than 30 minutes. I use different notebooks and this is the first one giving me problems. My eyes are 100% if you wondered!

I found an interesting discussion over here:

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1758285/intel-graphics-hurt-eyes-led-displays.html

The reports there demonstrate my exact same problem. Disabling the Intel HD driver seems to help a lot (I have only tested this for 30 minutes now but it seems to be working). Does anyone else have problems with eye strain and is there a solution? What is causing it ?

Make sure your refresh rate is at maximum, 60 Hz. Adjust your color temperature to the "cool" setting. Decrease the brightness and contrast.

Hi 17seconds,

Thanks for the reply. I have done all of that. I've been an active PC user for over 20 years now and rarely does it happen to me that my eyes get strained to a great extent. Now with the new laptop and a few years ago with a monitor that I bought (which I eventually disposed off).
