Hello, 5 days ago i got a new monitor and made the transition from my 7-year Samsung Syncmaster 2243sn to a LG 24MB56HQ. I wanted something better but also budget so i chose this model. I decided that i would try an IPS and little bigger screen (from 21.5" to 23.8") intended for everyday use and Gaming included(initial reason of upgrading, i also switched gpu).
Now i know that it's a big difference switching from a 7 years old TN screen to a bigger, different Brand and technology and it needs getting used to.. But it really tires my eyes from day one. I first thought that it's because of the size but i realized it's the intense and vivid lighting and specifically the White colours.
The default setting was like a freakin Lightbulb for a dark room. Brightness was 100/100 and Contrast 90/100. I am no expert at this and monitor versions in general, so i read somewhere that for this model it's suggested to set the RGB to 50-43-45 but other than that... darkness. Everyday i am trying different settings with no good result. It still brings me headaches and makes my eyes hurt. Currently i have Brightness at 15 and Contrast at 70. I tried them both around 40-50 but it's too bright. On the other hand when low it makes the colours a little washed out and text blurrier. But aside from the afternoon that i have a lamp on, at night that the room is dark it's pretty tiring. I never had this problem with the previous monitor for all this time and in this circumstances.
So if anyone has feedback for this specific model or a similar IPS sized calibration, i would appreciate it while my eyes can still read it. Some more info:
-I also tried the Windows colour adjustment
-I tried 1920x1080 resolution(previously 1280x960 fit me), but it's too small and don't like the icons and text enlargment result, so i am trying 1600x900 and 1440x900.
-I also lowered brightness in Nvidia Control Panel but i think it's too much, and messed a litte with vivid enhancement but reset it to default.
-Full RGP is on in the panel settings.
-I installed Flux and it makes the screen warm but so frequent adjustments and orange-yellow screen i don't think is a good solution for me eyes.
-I have Response time set at High and Black level also at High(at low it's too dark and washed out).
-Default Sharpness was 5, i made it 4. i leave the Default Gamma1 cause i didn't like the others, neither lowering the Gamma bar.
-I have Super Resolution Option Off, Energy Saving also Off, and Preset at PC(other is AV) and User. Cinema is similar to user, and Game mode very cold.
-I try to have little more distance than before, but i am still close(about 70-80 cm), anyway other people i know have 27" monitors and are still 1 meter or less far so distance should not be the biggest issue here.
-I checked a youtue black video for IPS Glow/ Backlight Bleed but i don't think it's the problem. Screen gets lighter or darker depending on angle, i didn't notice this before but maybe it's cause it was smaller so i didn't noticed colour changes.
-I can't connect my old monitor too compare or use cause it's VGA only. That's the reason i got a new one. I also asked and can't return the new.
Sorry for the longread and any mistakes. I think i said more than enough to avoid obvious questions, any advice is welcomed.
