The "eye-care" features are a total gimmick. Simply get a screen with as low gloss as possible, adjust settings and ensure no daylight or lamps are reflecting off it.

Since the June post I got an Samsung 28" 4K screen, but found it a little large, so moved it to the PC with a scanner and replaced a 19″ CRT with the Benq. I use a 24″ 4K LG screen now and with the settings all turned way down it's almost like premium coffee table coloured book paper. Almost no reflections (positioned so no room lights or daylight reflecting), no flicker, no backlight bleed. Brightness =7, Contrast=42 (max is 100).
All stuff like ecomodes, dynamic contrast etc all turned off on TVs and monitors as they degrade the quality.

Shiny high gloss screens are cheaper to make and can look nice in a showroom. They are a disaster.
