Title: RE: chronic problems

For me it is not the resolution of my monitor, but the refresh rate that causes problems. With regard to florescent lights especially, you want to be sure that your refresh rate is as far off from 60Hz as is possible. Florescent lights flicker at 60Hz and the interaction between a monitor flickering at the same refresh rate and the lighting creates a worse effect that either flicker alone. I avoid using florescent lighting when possible, but if not I won't run a refresh rate lower that 85Hz if I can help it.    I like the idea of anti-glare glasses though. I am assuming that these are polarized lenses, which should cut down on the amount that ambient florescent lighting you see reflected back at you from the monitor.   -Tim VanDeWalle Information Systems/Product Testing Evergreen Technologies, Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Decker, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 9:20 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: chronic problems I'll try it.  I gues  could just wear them at my desk.

I am doing much better.  One of my coworkers has a pair of anti-glare glasses, too.  They look like thing wire frame glasses, but she loves them.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ K.Borndale   [EMAIL PROTECTED] -home email ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----- Original Message ----- From: Decker, Jeff To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 11:37 AM Subject: RE: chronic problems Speaking of problems from this profession.  By the end of the day my eyes are red and hurt real bad from starring at monitors all day.  I went to the eye doctor and he said everything was fine.  Do any of you have this problem?  I've try changing monitors and resolution.  no good.     http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm
