MSI GX660 LED - harmful for the eyes?

Hi guys,

I've got MSI GX660 with LED screen and its very harmful for my eyes - even after calibration of the screen and setting the density of lighting and colours as low as I can. After 2-3 hours of playing games my eyes hurt and sometimes i feel dizzy, even when wearing anti-reflection glasses. I even got myself a special anti-glare filter to make my screen mat but this didnt help much.

This never happens when Im working on my computer with mat screen. even for 8-10 hours.

any ideas how to deal with that? All suggestions welcome

 

I agree with you. Reading on this screen really hurts my eyes as well. My eyes get tired and strained really fast so I get up and do pushups every 15 min. or so. haha I think that's the most productive way to reduce eye strain.

 

that's horrible maybe it's something with the refresh rate, but all LCDs are 60hz.. hm

 

I use my screen all day long pretty much, never experienced this problem before. Very wierd.

 

You might want to consider flashing the VBIOS. According to the MSI website it "patches fuzzy screen problem in DC mode". Sounds like it may clear any fuzziness (i.e. blurriness?) to the LCD screen.

Bear in mind that I've flashed the VBIOS myself and I haven't really noticed anything significantly different. However, I wasn't bothered by my screen in the first place. Just a thought nevertheless

 

i havent had a problems with looking at the screen except when im really tired in which case i lower the screen res mabe try that

 

The LED screens are really bright. I turn my backlight down to about 25-30%. That made it a bit more confortable, where the whites arent burning your eyes.

 

Woot, i feel happy that i'm still using a grey washed out cheap LCD pannel Haha naaaaa, brightness down, GPU control center, some small time calibration, really shouldn't be hurting your eyes though eh?

 

That's because the screen is using laser-emitting diode (LED) technology, so there's a bunch of low-voltage lasers shooting straight into your eyes. As you know, lasers destroy the cornea, making you blind over time. Your eyes hurting and the dizziness are just symptoms, the long-term effects are much more terrifying.

Makes you wish you'd gotten a Mac instead, doesn't it?

 

Since when "L" in LED represents "laser"?
As far as I can remember it was Light-emitting diode. And Light!=Laser

 

LED generates a lot of blue wavelengths which are bad for your eyes.

 

Have you heard of dihydrogen monoxide?

It's called "hydroxyl acid", the substance is the major component of acid rain.
contributes to the "greenhouse effect".
may cause severe burns.
is fatal if inhaled.
contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

 

...and also in oceans, rivers, lakes and up to 60 percent of our body..

Anyway, still don't get how it's related to LED topic (excerpt sarcasm).

 

laser is light, just like dihydrogen monoxide is water.

 

The point is that water will give you cancer and your notebook is trying to make you blind.

 

Haven't you think about this might be because of ... well how it is called in LED screens?!? - the part that plays role of the inverter in regular screens? As I've heard those controller boards are very sensitive about the temperature. I've read an article where the conclusion was that even 0.1 degree change matters. And this change is followed by several changes of the picture on the display - like flickering, increased/decreased brightness and so on. This might be a reason for your problem. Just suggesting ...
