    Unhappy Anyone else experiencing eye strain on M1530 LED LCD?

    I noticed it from the moment i booted it up. It almost like it's hard to focus on the screen. The screen is not grainy. I don't know what it is.

    I've tried turning down the brightness, gamma, everything. Nothing seems to make it better.

    Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?

    Some peoples eyes do not like LEDs. Could talk to an optomotrist.

    Take a picture with a good camera to show us.

    My LED has been the best screen there is giving me much less eyestrain thanks to the extra brightness, vibrant colors, better contrast, and more.

    ^ Ditto for when I got to borrow a Macbook Pro for a week. I'll never buy another CCFL screen again.

    Yes, at max brightness its enough to blind somebody... I find 85% brightness is fine, seems really dark at first but thats because you're used to 100%, after an hour it becomes ideal and no eye strain

    My screen is also crystal clear, very nice.. but like I said, max brightness is a killer =] ... I'd only use it editing photos

    Hello chaps,

    Same story for me.
    Also some eye strain since I own my Dell Studio 17 with WLED screen for 2 days.
    Now I turned brightness to about 30% of maximum and eye fatigue seems to reduce. Hope I will be used to the screen in some time...

    Best regards,
    Alfred L.

    Max Brightness is unusable unless you're outside, otherwise the screen is fine for me. But I think I know what you're referring too, I used to get that problem from my 21.6" Samsung LCD.

    ugghh... I am having the exact same problem. But I was in denial until I found this thread. I hope that my eyes get used to it because I don't want to send my new computer back.

    Interestingly, there is a lot of similar complaints on the new MacBook Pro. You can check out a discussion here. http://discussions.apple.com/thread....77617&tstart=0

    But they all recommend turning the brightness up all the way to reduce the eye strain. They claim at lower levels of brightness, the flicker increases.

    Can anyone confirm that their eyes have gotten used to it? I really don't want to return mine and if someone else has gotten used to it then it will give me hopes that I can do the same.
