Two days ago I bought myself a Samsung 22' T220 LCD Monitor, and thus far while it has proven itself in color fidelity with a custom ICC profile, and in overall quality, the monitor is giving me a headache literarily. Before I bought this one I had a 19inch CRT monitor for about 4 years
The first day was a nightmare, experiencing headache as well as nausea. The problem is that white or bright areas seem to flicker while darker and black areas is smooth and fine like looking at a arch of paper. Adjusting the Monitor Brightness or Contrast doesn’t help any. I also have very sensitive eyes, I can see if a CRT monitor runs at 60, 75, 85 or 100 hz, which makes it hard for me to determine whether this is standard for 22 inch monitors and it’s just my eyes playing a trick on me, or if mine is faulty. But I can add that another LCD in my home, a 19 inch one, has no such issues however.
For comparisons sake, it’s like looking at a CRT monitor running at 75hz whenever I’m browsing the net or drawing in painter. Not overly bad, but give it an hour or two and you’ll have tired eyes and maybe a slight headache.
So what do you guys think, anyone else with sensitive eyes that can add to this, or am I the only one having this issue?
