Personally, my LCD-monitor is rather old. But there is something, I guess is more common on LCD-devices, personally speaking, namely that I screw up or squint my eyes a little bit while reading or watching it from a close distance. I guess, that some kind of dazzling, because of the backlight, might be the reason. It's not dramatic, it's subtle. Then again, I should try to dim the backlight and see if I stop the little screwing of my eyes. Personally it is a distantly similar effect, if I want to look at something accurately and sharply without my glasses on ( I am shortsighted, but I can read and recognize easily letters in front of a monitor, tablet or reader without my glasses).

I was definitely into eInk. I still have an Onyx C67ML Carta and a Boyue T63. Those were always much easier on my eyes than any LCD screen ever thought of being. Now that I have an iPad Pro 9.7, I use those eInk devices a lot less. Later, I discovered
this neat trick that reduces the brightness even more when desired.
The iPad Pro feels light enough for prolonged reading, has good battery life (even better with that trick enabled), and doesn't affect my eyes like a typical LCD screen. It comes very, very close to an eInk display for me now. See if you can check one out for yourself before buying one. That's the only way you'll know for sure if it will work for you as it does for me.
