Using Monitor filter or change mine to LCD monitor could be better for my eyes?

Q. I'm sitting in front of the computer most of the day and still not using any filter to my CRT monitor.
What could be better to prevent my pain in eyes? Using a filter to the CRT or changing my monitor to LCD one?

A. You're still using a CRT?

If your CRT isn't capable of refresh rates at least above 76hz, then you should replace it.

LCD doesn't have that same refresh problem, so there won't be any flickering. It's mainly this flickering that causes eyestrain.

LCD also has a much brighter, crisper picture when sitting close, and isn't nearly as susceptible to glare because the outer screen of a LCD isn't made from glass, like CRT is.

If your eyes are still giving you problems and you wear glasses, many eyeglass places can make glasses that use a special coating that is supposed to help reduce eyestrain when using a computer.

Otherwise, every 15 minutes, you should look away from the screen and try focusing on an object that's far away (further than your arm's length at least) for a few seconds. This will help exercise your eye muscles and keep them from getting tired from just focusing at one length for so long.


What is the Windows PC monitor equivalent to Apple Mac monitor?
Q. What is the Windows PC monitor equivalent to the Apple Mac monitor?
I'm not talking about programs or software, I'm talking about the actual hardware monitor.

A. Hi Melissa, hope sincerely you are fine.

If you are not talking about software, then certainly you mean the LCD technology behind! The LCD Panel inside iMacs are manufactured by LG, they are made in China and only assembled in California by Apple. For example the 27" LCD in iMac have the following specs: LED-backlit glossy widescreen TFT active-matrix liquid crystal display with IPS technology,
Resolution: 2560 by 1440 pixels,
Typical brightness: 375 cd/m2,
It can be attached to a wall mount, articulating arm, or other VESA-compliant mounting solution using the optional VESA Mount Adapter Kit. Technically speaking, it is really hard to get an equivalent Monitor using this LCD technology in the market presently. I don't find any monitor competing with the Apple LCD technology.

As for the Apple Cinema Display 27" (i.e monitor only) the following can be noted:
27-inch (diagonal viewable image size) thin film transistor (TFT) active-matrix liquid crystal display with in-plane switching (IPS).

Supported resolutions: 2560 by 1440 pixels, 1920 by 1080 pixels, 1280 by 720 pixels
Colors (maximum): 16.7 million
Aspect ratio: 16:9
Viewing angle: 178° horizontal; 178° vertical
Brightness (typical): 375 cd/m2
Contrast ratio (typical): 1000:1
Response time (typical): 12 ms

To get the equivalent for this is really really hard although not impossible. According to my experience, I haven't seen another display equivalent to the Apple Cinema Display. That said, the Apple Cinema Display has it's disadvantages as well for eg it uses a Mini Display Port!

I know that i haven't answer your question by naming to you the exact equivalent monitor but I say that I haven't found anything matching the Apple Cinema Display yet. If you happen to get one that can match Apple's, please do let me know.

I hope that I have been of some help while sharing my experience to you Melissa. Wish you good luck. All the best.
