hi there... are you like me? i really turn down the brightness of my screen... hehehe.. i mean my computer screen. having it on 100% gives me a bad eye strain and i end up having a bad headache... wah!!! usually i have it down to 30 to 40% only... and many people say, they can hardly see anyting when they look over my shoulder... LOL... but this is fine with me... hehehe... also bright light makes me feel nauseous... LOL... so i usually don't like under the glaring heat of the sun. i guess because i have astimagtism... LOL how about you?

I don't get such eye strain from the glare, I'm using an LCD monitor. When I'm still using a CRT monitor I usually get eye strain and have to use a multicoated glass for protection, now I can last up to 18 hours in front of the computer without caring for the glare.

I don't know. It's not that often that I get eye strain, but then if I got one, I'd stay out in front of the computer for a few hours.

I think 30% to 40% brightness is so dark for me, i can't see anything all at,i often make it to 80%,i feel well. You are right, having it down to 30 to 40% and you feel better,the eyes are the most important when you are in front of your computer.

Hello shiloh. My eyes get strained also when I'm in front of the computer for many hours. I just adjust the brightness especially at night so that it won't be too glaring. Good evening.
