Why I Tried Eye Care Monitor for 7 Days

I discovered there is an actual series of monitors that specifically tackles eye strain, called the BenQ Eye Care Monitors. It solves many issues such as flickering, blue light, contrast, and color which all play a role in causing eye strain.

I reached out to BenQ, and they were kind enough to sponsor the video and send me their BenQ GW2785TC which is a 27 inch monitor. I discovered some really cool things about it, including the fact that it had a dedicated coding mode, a special brightness intelligence feature that auto-updates brightness in real time, and even eye-careU software packages.

After using this monitor for 7 days, I can safely say it was good on my eyes. The colors for coding were great, I didn't get headaches, and I actually ended up being able to code for longer periods than I usually do. If you suffer from eye-strain, I would recommend it.

"benq please sponsor me I want free monitor"
LMAO! My guy knows how to keep his viewers entertained 😂🔥💝

[Sobitsaid]

Soooo much free value in a single video. Also, an entertaining one. Thanks a ton.

After using a monitor 20 years without any kind of protection my eyes paid the consequences, you can prevent this while still young.

[TroenderTass]

You've changed careeers from developer to salesman i see. how do you like it?

[rainbow_world]

I suggest you to take a look at an SVD RLCD monitor.
Also hope that there will be more eye-friendly solutions based on color e-Ink and its alternatives.

Man, you got me loling with that b-roll 😅 My faves were the reaction to the blinds being open and checking the time on your wristwatch but it was just your phone on your wrist. 😂

[cdey]

wow, that intro was so satisfying! Great and informative video!

I don't get it why you people think it's not normal to look at screen for 16 hours a day. I've been doing it for 20 years and so do most neets and gamers. Every video about this topic is so obnoxious about it like "I as a programmer have to look at screen FOR 8 HOURS EVERY DAY!!!!" bro most people look at screens all day like fr smh head

Your commercial that pretends to be a review is wrong. The best monitors for programming are 4k 43" IPS panels available from several providers.

Very enjoyable watching your video! I’m sure it took a lot of work. Thanks for your research as well!

I have an old Benq BL2420PT monitor with this technology and it's really crap for the eyes, the best thing that can exist to not strain the eyes are the screens that Apple includes inside the 27" iMacs, I'm in front of them 8 hours a day at work and
my eyes are very little tired.
Apple laptops connected to any monitor that doesn't have 218 ppi density will surely suck and the text will not be as sharp as it should be, this does not happen with Windows, which has a totally different font rendering and scaling management.
For that reason alone I'm considering going back to Windows to write code at home.

Hey everyone, I spent a heap of time on this one, and was able to grow my team, I have a new member joining the channel to help film and edit. Going to be exploring more storytelling and topic videos, so if there are specific ideas or things people want me to cover let me know. Next week I'm going to do one about how I sold my SaaS! (the one I made in 30 days)!

Yeah but, no but, as a developer and website designer has this guy missed the 2018 UK and International Accessibility Regulations and Standards?

Both minimum "Colour Contrast Validation" of websites WCAG 2.1 and companion ISO 30071-1 "DSE Colour Contrast Calibration" guiding the user operator to make personal, custom maximum contrast, "Reasonable Adjustments or Accommodations" to prevent or mitigate early onset eye-strain, screen fatigue, Computer Vision Syndrome resulting simply from over-exposure to standard out of the box, very high contrast bright-white background or contrast to text exacerbating the level of vision-stress / glare especially, when effectively "over-exposed", longer than an hour a day, to generic white screen interface setting without "sufficient daylighting indoors or ambient artificial lighting" during the day and at night.

However, in terms of public and Digital Eye-Health or occupational health the introduction of Accessibility Standards has highlighted the deficits expediently ignored by the Health & Safety Executive even before the embarrassment of publishing their "Better Display Screen RR 561 in 2007" confirming that the UK's DSE Regulations, excluded what it said in it title Display Screen Equipment operator-equipment screen ergonomics, were actually completely ineffective especially when further regulation by the 1998 PUWER Act (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations) conveniently omitted from guidance and or DSE Product Use Set-Up Guidance, Induction Training or annual Risk Assessment.

This is a commercial. Sponsored video.

I had to change my kitchen lights from fluorescent to LEDs. Big-time release on my psyche.

I’m using an audiophile quality power cable to lessen the chance of my computer having these issues.

" I never notice the deference between a 4k and 1080"
This is the most helpful quote.. thanks a lot

[bitbotz]

Also resolution matters alot in monitor when you are coding or reading text as in 1080p 24" the text is pixelated which strains your eye

[sanctioned]

"no matter the size it's never enough" THATS WHAT SHE SAID

[smthsmth]

just turn on eye saver mode and sit at a comfortable distance

[garrysingh]

Did you check if this flickers when we see it with camera?
Is IPS better or LED?
