Chris: A few ideas for you. :)) Not sure if these may be the case!

1) They do make monitors with better than .60 dpi.

2) Running your monitor at 5000x3000 to fit more on your screen is not necessarily a good idea.

3) Make sure the monitor is turned on. I hate straining to see and then realize I haven't powered up yet!

Okokokok, seriously, a few things to consider, cuz I do know what you mean.

1) I turn the brightness and contrast way down...more than you would think. It looks a little funny at first...but your eyes quickly adapt to these lower levels.

2) Have other lighting on in the room.

3) Make sure you have a monitor with a GOOD refresh rate. They make them up in the 90-100mhz range now. ANY flicker will drive your eyes crazy and give you a wicked headache. (For those running two or more monitors, flicker is a greater issue as the monitors can cause flicker to each other depending on what rate they're running at)

4) Decent monitors run at .26-28 dpi.

5) Make sure you have the monitor physically placed in such a way that does not make your neck/eyes move to where they would not naturally be.

That's all I can thing of....there may be more.

All the best

Kevin
