Blue shifted screens make my eyes strain quite a bit when using them in low light conditions. Turning up the warmth, that is shifting towards the red side of the color spectrum, helps considerably. Even though what I described here applies to using the screens in low light conditions, perhaps the Pro is shifted more toward the blue side of the color spectrum than the other iPads you have used. You might try adjusting the warmth.

Another possibility is how much of the color spectrum the Pro can display. I know my older iPad Mini 2 does not show as many colors as the newer models like the Pro. So perhaps some of the colors the Pro can display were not available on the older iPads you used and somehow those colors are messing with your vision.
Thanks for your help. I tried adjusting the warmth/cool contrast, but it's not helping. I also tried adjusting the brightness. It may have been too bright before. But I still feel the eye strain after the new adjustments. It feels like the colors are too sharp or something. I don't know. It could be the screen protector I'm using on it, but without one, the Pro attracts too many fingerprints too soon. Maybe I need an anti-glare screen protector but those are grainy. I'm just going to put it away for a while and maybe try it again later.

I can't do any reading on the iPads. I did once a long time ago and after finishing one pdf file, it almost made me sick afterwards. So I don't read on those things anymore. Mostly I use it for games I read on my Kindle.
