Oliver Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Hey Since I have a new monitor I am sitting much longer infront of it and I noticed that I am getting a headache from it. Whats the % of your brightness setting? I also wear glasses for driving ( I see on the short very good but I have problems seeing in the distance) Do you think I should wear glasses if I am on the computer? Please only answer the glasses question if you have experience with it. Thank you Edited January 16, 2016 by Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalispel Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Having some low lit lights and not staring at it in the dark helps me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attaboy Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I have -4,50 and the only reason I'm getting headaches is when I sit for to long behind my PC. I would say, go outside more often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 does sunlight enter your field of vision I only get a headache at night and also only if I am sitting for a long period of time infront of the monitor, not instant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I only get a headache at night and also only if I am sitting for a long period of time infront of the monitor, not instant! oh well that's normal. Unless you might need a brighter bulb or if it's exposed you need something to block direct vision 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Turn up the No Blue light if you have a Benq monitor it helps tons my eyes feel much better now and my eyes don't feel tired anymore too. I think there are also programs that you can download for low blue light for your monitor. https://justgetflux.com/ is one of them.

Please only answer the glasses question if you have experience with it. Thank you I always wear glasses BUT when I'm behind my computer because I get headaches after a while. Im sensitive to brightness overall though, whether irl or computer. So I use dark themes everywhere (computer, websites, ...) which does wonders to my eyes. Also always leave a light on in the room to ease your eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
