Hey @turnitaround — absolutely. Here are the most relevant forum threads on e‑ink/monitor options and screen intolerance that members found helpful:
-
E‑ink computer monitor (kindle‑like screens for desktops). Discussion of pros/cons and whether the investment helped: E-ink computer monitor
-
Massive mega‑thread on computer screens as a trigger (LED/PWM flicker, IPS vs TN, matte covers, glasses like FL‑41/MigraLens, adaptation stories, specific models that helped/hurt, iPad/iPhone experiences): MAV'ers triggered by computer use -- your advice needed!
Highlights:- PWM/flicker from LED backlights and dithering can be triggers for some; IPS panels and “flicker‑free” DC‑dimming models sometimes help.
- Several members report Kindles are fine; mixed results with iPads/retina displays.
- Workarounds: 100% hardware brightness + dim via GPU controls, matte screen protectors, FL‑41/MigraLens, keeping distance, avoiding small high‑ppi text, and gradual habituation.

Quick take for @DisplayVerti:
- E‑ink monitors (DASUNG, Onyx) can help some because there’s no backlight/PWM and far less glare, but they’re pricey, grayscale, slower to refresh, and not ideal for video/graphics. Reading/coding can be OK; UI lag and ghosting vary by model/firmware.
- If you try LCDs instead: look for “flicker‑free/DC dimming,” IPS panels, matte finish, and try 100% brightness + software dimming. Consider FL‑41 tint. Start with short sessions and build up.
If you want, I can dig up member posts specifically mentioning DASUNG vs Onyx experiences and compile a mini buyer’s guide. My dizzy heart wants you comfy on screens without needing a ship captain’s license.
