There are many things in the world that exist that you have not experienced personally..As my Dad used to say...the world doesn't revolve around you.
If you choose to believe that LCD's are just as easy on your eyes as eInk, that's a reasonable position. When you try to extrapolate from your direct experience that "this must be true for the whole world" than you have gone from a reasoned approach to a "world revolves around me" approach.
My direct experience has shown that they do cause issues for some people (me included) so I've jumped in on that side of the argument. Scion, YOU should PROVE that LCD's are NOT causing the eye strain since we have a few examples in just this thread of people who are saying it IS LCD monitors that causes eye strain for them. Can you prove it? Are you calling us all liars? If you are, then I'll point back to the last sentence of the paragraph above..just because you haven't experienced something does not mean it does not exist.
Anyway, anyone still reading this thread might REALLY want to know if the Nook Color is as easy to read as eInk, and they will have to see that there is a percentage of people who have DIRECT EXPERIENCE who say that it is not. If I were one of those people I'd take that into advice and if I find that my eyes get teary, or itchy or burning etc after sitting in front of a computer screen all day, I'd expect a similar experience with the Nook Color. Again though, I OWN and am very happy with my nook color..it's just that I wouldn't want to read on it for 4-5 hours at a time.
Oh, and just be thankful that you have genetically superior eyes than some of us and you don't have any issues with LCD's. |
I said I was busting his chops and gave an explanation as to why. I'm not arguing about eyestrain on LCDs. It comes down to individual experience. When folks with the NOOKcolor say they don't have any problems reading for extending periods of time, die-hard eink folks chime in that we're not being honest. Everything comes done to personal experience. If people would stop making these blanket generalizations (and just say, I experience this, but I know others don't) there would be no need for this going back and forth.
