Hi guys,
My new BenQ XL2114Z monitor is fantastic. I play all my games at 144Hz and gaming has never been more enjoyable. After adjusting the settings, the picture quality is flawless, despite it being a TN panel.
However, since having the monitor, the back of my eyes are aching/ feel fatigued the day after a evening of gaming. One day I was even feeling slightly dizzy and the sides of head felt achey too.
Below are the adjustments I have made to try and ease the eye strain, but has not helped much:-
- Brightness is now at 0, it is still as bright as my old samsung monitor
- Blue light has been reduced 50% using its blue light reduction feature
- My eyes are level with the top of the monitor (as online sources suggest to)
- My eyes are 20-25" away from the screen (as online sources suggest to)
- Contrast has been adjusted as per instructions online for optimal picture quality
- I play in a well lit room, and there is no glare on the monitor
Any advice on what to do next? My eyes dont feel dry, only fatigued at the back. Will my eye muscles eventually adjust?
I never ever had any form of eye strain with my old TV's/ Monitors, despite spending 12 hour days of gaming at the same distance.
Thanks
Toby
