Regarding text and eyestrain, I found the following posting on Hardforum by Snowdog. Looks like 10e is familiar with the Benq G2400, although I have no idea if it's the same panel as the current G2400WD or G2400WAD. Do Snowdog's recommendations make sense to those of you who might have a better sense of the differences in these 24" and larger displays? Thanks.
From Snowdog's posting in the "best monitor to minimize eye strain - text based work" thread on Hardforum:
...
Recommendations: (Controlled brightness, Non VA, Less sparkly, non-neon):
Dim to fairly bright environment: Benq G2400 (nice low powered back light) <$400
Fairly bright to very bright environment: NEC 2490 (more powerful back light ) >$1000
I like these recommendations as well...
Do you still consider the GD2400WD the best (or did you even back then?) when it comes to being easy on the eyes? I am not in a "very bright" environment as I either only have a window open or the ceiling light on in my dorm, but not in a super-bright office environment. Right now I am still on a 17" Gateway flat-screen CRT(possibly originally emachines but rebranded when gateway bought them...it is a "786n"). The dot pitch is 0.25 and I am running at 1024x768 and I often have to lean forward to read good (I wear glasses). So I think only a 22" or 24" would be acceptable, with their larger dot pitches. I would prefer a 22", but it seems, after reading a lot of eyestrain posts in this thread, the GD2400WD has advantages in the eyestrain area that potentially outweighs the slightly larger dot pitch of 22"s?
Any updated or confirmed thoughts on monitors for the ease-on-eyes priority?
