Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice on a new monitor: a Samsung S27H850Q. It works and looks great... and causes terrible eye strain. It's generally okay(-ish) but the moment I am reading or typing a lot, it becomes uncomfortable and difficult to focus on - even for short periods of time.
I have the option to replace it, but I do not know what is likely to be making it so uncomfortable (or, therefore, what to avoid in picking another one). These are my best guesses:
Thanks in advance!

I have the option to replace it, but I do not know what is likely to be making it so uncomfortable (or, therefore, what to avoid in picking another one). These are my best guesses:
- Too big: My desk setup means I can not easily sit more than 80 cm from the (27 inch) screen. That's perfectly fine according to the manual, but could be a bit close, according to some sites. I am used to using either a laptop screen (13 inches) or a 24-inch display.
- Too bright: I have turned the brightness settings to minimum (allegedly 280cd/m2). I have also adjusted the colour balance to reduce the blue light level. Samsung have said it's possible that a fault is causing the display to emit too much light, but I'm not sure how likely that is.
- Too good a resolution: I don't think this makes sense, but it's a suggesting I have had from another retailer. The resolution is QHD, whereas the 24-inch display I used before was only FHD.
Thanks in advance!
