Hi @davester, you did not wrote which operating system you are using but definitely you can set lower resolution full screen on the Max2.
My personal opinion, the Max2 is worse for the eyes than a quality screen. The image is "dirty" and washed out on the Max2. It causes me more eye strain than using my laptop with proper lightning conditions.
I used to complain about eyes strain from using monitors. Since I switched to Macbook with retina display the problem is gone. I use the largest font scaling in the macOS and I don't set the screen too dark nor too bright - I like the fact that the brightness auto adjusts itself to match the external conditions. I used for a while Microsoft surface and Dell XPS but both were really bad for my eyes. I'm not an Apple fan but only Apple makes screens with proper antiglare coating (the same you have on your glasses). In my experience no antiglare coating is really, really bad for my eyes, typical mate coating is much better but still tiring over prolonged time.
And first of all, have your eyes checked! I can work without glasses but then I quickly have the feeling of having sand in my eyes. All the tiny blood vessels in my eyes and eyelids become over pumped, you can just see them heavily pronounced.
