It actually reduces glare. Which is better on the eyes. However, some are very expensive.

do you notice that it is particularly flickery? do you have any eye problems that you know about?

 

[pc_boy]

if it is an LCD screen, i could GUARANTEE you it's not because of the refresh rate... unless it's over 7 years old

 

[joshd]

maybe the monitor is faulty, so you are getting flicker that is not related to the refresh rate.

Well most people would not have these problems, but I get the exact same things (I am bionic boy )

#1: Reduce flourescent lights in the area, their annoying flicker combined with the monitor is terrible

#2: Run your screen on a higher refresh rate, something like 85 hz at 1024 X 768, if my 10 year old monitors can do this, so can yours

Make sure there is sufficient lighting in the room also. When I use my computer in the dark I get a headache.

Also, when you get a headache, take a break.

u can buy these shades to go over ur screen and make it darker for like 20 bucks so that it wont be soo bright and i heard that will help a lot
