Computer Screen Nerve Problems?

Question

I'm having super bad headaches from my computer screen. I have a neurological disorder and am looking to but a new laptop. I'm wondering what types or tools of screens would offer less strain. Thanks

Answer 1

If you have a neurological disorder then you need to tell us what that is and what requirement it places on the monitor.


For example, if you need low flicker then an LCD is better. But if you need a high contrast ratio a CRT is better.


Without knowing what you need we can not advise you.



Has your neurologist any suggestions?

Answer 2

Depends are you the type of guy that don't have headaches when you look at large resolutions or small resolutions?

Here's some sites you can do some research about the screen size.

Personally I would go talk to my doctor first about which screen size if best for me, then I would go to Best Buy and go on to their laptop section and test all their laptops out. Eventually you'll find some screens that doesn't give you a headache and you can ask customer service what kind of screen that is and what companies make them.

Answer 3

For 99% of most people, an LCD screen is easier on the eyes than CRT (i.e. vacuum tube) screens. This is me and most people. Use a higher-grade NEC, Samsung, Sony or Dell monitor is best.

For 1% of people (I know 2), a CRT is better. These people see the "movement of pixels" in LCDs and regardless of lighting conditions, this imperceptible flicker bothers them. For these people, a CRT with the videocard set to a vertical refresh rate of 70Hz or higher is best.

Your new laptop should be a name-brand Dell, HP, or Sony. Don't get the ones with the high-gloss screen -- I absolutely despise the glare. Name-brand laptops have screens with better color, contrast, and a more "stable" picture than generics.

Because you say you have problems w/ your laptop's LCD screen, you may fall into the 1% category. You need to compare CRTs and LCDs and see for yourself. You may need to buy an external CRT for your laptop.

Good luck.
