Problems with monitors/laptops (light/backlight/screen parts-related)

1. Undefined problem X #

Something in light that affects vergence. Complaints often include piercing white colour, inability to set up a pleasant brightness (screen always feels too bright), and inability to focus on a screen.
Presumably connected to inner screen parts.
Hypothesis here

• Post where removal of BEF (or similar) layer reduced symptoms with 5 screens
• Post where a change of polarizer and BEF removal helped partially

2. Excessive blue light #

There are some reports that reducing blue light helps, but sometimes not for 100%.
To limit the blue spectrum from the entire screen - optics have glasses with a blue-blocking filter.

3. Rough matte coating #

Up to personal preferences. Sometimes can cause more than discomfort.

• Post about discomfort
• Another post about strong discomfort
• One more post about strong discomfort (Russian)

4. Screen is too glossy #

Up to personal preferences. Sometimes can cause more than discomfort.

• Post about severe discomfort (Russian)

5. Minimal brightness is too high #

It can affect you if there’s not enough lighting in the place where you use a monitor, or if you work at night/without light.
