    Monitor recommendations - for eye strain

    Dear all

    Some background info:

    I currently own 2 monitors - BenQ XL2420T and Dell U2412M - in use for approximately 4 years. This is a double monitor setup. I use the monitors for long hours - for work and gaming. Last year, my eyes would get fatigued after long hours of use. I realised that for years, the brightness setting has been really high on my monitors. Turning that down has helped. Also, I have invested in Gunnar Optiks glasses to reduce the glare. That has helped a lot too.

    I'll soon be getting a new gaming PC and will probably look into new monitors. On that note, can anyone help me with the following:

    Are there any recommendations for height adjustable 24 inch monitors that do as much as possible to protect the eyes.

    I understand that no monitor can ever be a substitute for regular breaks. I have heard of the BenQ eye care monitor range - but don't know much about it's effectiveness.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I think you may be after reduced blue-s in the monitor plus flicker free operation. Semi professional or office monitors are usually designed with long hours in front of the monitor in mind.
