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!

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺).

Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky!

Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance.

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.
