Advice computer screen glare

I have been getting a lot of migraines lately could it be my computer screen that could be causing this :(

 

if its a flat thin screen.tft then probably no.

if its a normal monitor then yes.

 

It is a flat screen cant remember off hand what it is when you touch it you can see the ink is that a tft dont know what that means

 

you won't be getting headaches from the actual screen glare Rosa as there is none....you could have the backlight up to high...or you are spending to much time on the computer.

 

Thanks pc medic, where will i find the backlight to turn it down and also have been on the pc quite a lot, hubby said it is becoming an obssession :D

 

you will have to check to manual you got with the pc for the backilight Rosa :D

 

Thanks, have put the manual away somewhere and cant find it will have a look for it

 

yes pc medic it is EM-150 LCD MONITOR TFT
cant make head nor tail of the manual, wish they would put these manuals in easier form, they are so difficult to understand

 

Rosa, just an idea if you spend a lot of time on the computer .... put your screen as far back from you as you possibly can on your desk/table ... if then you have a problem reading the too small print alter the print size by going to View then Text Size and upping the text size ..... flat screens have the advantage that they don't have a big bulk at the back of them so they can be positioned further away.... it may help .... also make sure you are not getting too much 'glare' from natural sunlight eg... if you are sat facing a window when using your computer ! As PC Medic says it won't be the screen that is causing your migraine, but if you are a migraine sufferer anyway ....perhaps eye strain from trying to read too small text is a factor ...... plus eating chocolate and cheese !!!! but I'm sure you are aware of the latter two !! :D M-L

 

cheers mona lisa,I dont sit in a window, and when i think of it could be chocolate as i was naughty and had some and i normally get a migraine a few days later, its very difficult when you enjoy something yet it can make you so ill, thats why i tend to stick to savouries.

 

There's more to this than the glare from the monitor, rosa. I am an occupational health nurse and one of my jobs was to oversee the situation vis a vis VDUs and staff who use them.

Posture can have a BIG effect on your health and it is important that you have the proper seating and arm arrangements. Take a look at this document to see what I mean.

I stopped many folk getting bad heads-migraines through re-adjusting their seating and/or computer and desk arrangements.
