Best computer monitor for PCS?
 

Does anyone have any recommendations for computer monitors that are easier on the eyes of persons with PCS? LCD screens seem very irritating to my brain, and am wondering if there are other alternatives.

Thanks for your help!

There is a software called F.Lux that allows you to change the intensity of your monitor. Here is a link https://justgetflux.com/

Flux won't stop the flickering, it's the fluorescent backlight.
Your best bet is to get a plasma due to price but a better option that would be available in smaller more appropriate sizes is oled or led, make sure they aren't edge lit as that's still fluorescent.

Within flux there are even options just beyond taking the blue light out, like "darkroom" which makes the screen even easier to look at depending on what it is you're viewing. I only started using this a couple months ago, wish I would've found it much sooner.

Also, I just found that on iPhone's you can make them black and white by going to accessibility and turning on "greyscale". I think it's helped me at least.

Check out different back lighting systems. There is fluorescent back-lit and LED back-lit. Here is a link to an LED back-lit LCD display http://www.officedepot.com/a/product...D-Backlit-LCD/

I have been looking for a long time. I think I have finally settled on BenQ. Check out their website and their different little blue light, low flicker, etc. monitors. It seems they are different than any other monitor. Have not yet ordered one but I think I'm ready to take the plunge. I have been told to avoid Apple retina computers.
Good luck. Every little thing we do to take brain load off can help!

Just a thought.

Have you experimented with a CRT (Tube) monitor ? Some have onscreen programming that allow you to adjust refresh rates and color temps, etc. Electronic recycling collection centers often have plenty to choose from.

I have pcs and have been struggling to get continued improvement. Screen time is difficult but it's my job, so I'm looking at better monitors, computer glasses (will be picking up Gunnar Sheadog glasses from Best Buy today), and anything else to make screen time easier.

Questions:
-Did you end up buying the Benq monitor? If so:
-Was it helpful?
-Do you know what the model # was?
-Has anyone else had success with Benq or other brands?
-I've read briefly that e-reader style monitors may be beneficial, but they appear to be expensive. Has anyone tried one of those?

I'm new to this and wasn't sure whether to revive this old thread or start a new one. If there is a best practice around this, let me know. Thanks for any help.

Hi! I was diagnosed with photophobia (eye sensitivity to light, esp. computer screens!), and nothing was helping. But I did some searching online and came across these glasses made specifically for this problem. They are called Theraspecs, and I bought both an indoor and outdoor pair. **. They really, truly help. I can look at computer screens now! Best money I ever spent.

Thanks Holl, I will try those.
