ok here is hte situation..
up untill now i was sitin in a nice corner office with windows and good lighting...(dumb luck i guess that i got a corner office) Anyway, so we hired a New MD... who is obviously higher ranking than i am and i had to give up my office.
so now i get moved to a shitty ass cubicle... which licks testins.. no wwindo wno nothign and forible lighting.. and all day today my eyes are killing me.. everythign on thescreen is a bit blurry lokking (esepcially when i type emai;s/... black letters on white background (no thisis not a racial comment) look blurry a bit) i am pretty convinced that the way my monitors is set up is for the bright office andnot for this dark ass cube... is ther eliek a generic setting i can set up or do i just have to keep playing with it..

You should run the monitor on whatever it's native resolution is.

I forget what the rule of thumb for brightness is, but I think it's the brighter the workspace the brighter you want the monitor. Not sure though.

jc is on the money. Any time you set an LCD to a non-native resolution, everything will look blurred. I'd suggest resetting it to defaults (should be a menu option) then changing the brightness & contrast until it looks right. This is *after* resetting the monitor to native resolution. If you don't know what res is native, try a few and you should see a difference. What size is it (usually particular sizes have a standard native res)?

give yourself a break, when you're not looking at the monitor - try to look at objects that are very far away to relax your eye muscles. sometimes closing your eyes for a moment hurts, because your muscles are actually relaxing, but both of these are good techniques to rest the eyes.

good lighting helps prevent eye fatigue too, but flourescent lightning is bad for many people. you'll have to experiment and see what is causing your eye strain.

sometimes the background behind your monitor can also cause eye strain. for example if your back ground is a bright window, you may be having eye fatigue from trying to focus out the light.
