![]() Verify viewing distance (smaller display closer, bigger display further away).Some people solve their problem by changing to a very different (sometimes more expensive) LED backlight type. (regular vs KSF/NanoIPS vs Quantum Dot vs Apple Mac/iPad type backlight). Most displays made in the last 10 years are PWM-free, fortunately. Verify the monitor dimming is PWM-free.Change refresh rate between 60Hz and 120Hz/144Hz and 240 Hz, in case your issue is motion blur related (some of us get nausea from motion blur and/or poorly tuned LCD pixel response).Try wear orange-tinted "computer glasses", they're like sunglasses but designed for computer use.LCD blacks are not completely black, and blacks can leak through the original backlight spectrum which may trigger issues for you. This helps a lot, but sometimes is only partial as software doesn't fully fix the LED spectrum. Try enable/disable low blue light via menus/OS/app.However, you can test categories of common causes of display ergonomic issues: VRR technologies recently became available (can help motion sickness caused by stutter people who get motionsick playing games). ![]() Higher Hz has now become available, even for IPS and VA (this can help some, people who get motionsick playing games).Desktop monitors are becoming bigger than they used to be (which can affect migraines due to bigger FOV).Low blue light features have become available (but software/firmware does not fully solve CCFL vs LED differences).(Different people react differently in migraines) CRT gave way to CCFL-backlit LCD, then gave way to LED-backlit LCD.General pattern of changes to display industry over the last 10-25 years: The best way to try to narrow this down is to analyze: TN vs IPS, as well as standard LED backlight vs KSF/NanoIPS LED backlight). LED spectrum issues and panel issues (e.g. This is an interesting area that needs a bit of self-troubleshooting, but there are also additional ergonomic issues to also check too.Įrgonomic issues with vision can be hard to troubleshoot - e.g. I understand that your eyes are very comfortable with Apple displays, but has more issues/migranes with other non-Apple displays. Thanks for taking the time to read this, AND for your help! I didn’t realize there was so much to learn about monitors. I’ve done TONS of research on PC components. I’m also 100% open to a refurbished monitor. That being said, if it’s a good monitor I can bend that a bit since I’m prioritizing my healthcare needs over any flashy features. I’d like to keep my expenditure around $250 since I still have a few other purchases to make for my studio. I hijacked a cheap 21” ONN monitor (ONA18HO015) from my stepdad and have been using that as a second monitor in conjunction with my laptop, and I intend to keep using the ONN as I’m going to be streaming music production content on Twitch once I get this set up. I need to get a monitor since I will no longer be using my laptop. I’m currently using a late-2013 MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and that doesn’t seem to bother my eyes or my head a lot, but I do have the contrast increased a bit and use the blue light filter whenever my head is even remotely “migraine-y.” I also have computer glasses that filter out blue light for those bad migraine days. I recently finished a music production PC build and by sheer luck I managed to get my hands on an MSI RX 6600 XT Gaming, which has two each of DP and HDMI inputs and has FreeSync. I have chronic migraine and I want to be sure that I make a smart purchase. Hi! Saw a lot of recommendations for this site on Reddit and BOY, there’s so much to learn here that I’m almost a little overwhelmed, so I’m hoping someone can help me out.
