Except of course eyes don't have a linear refresh rate. So that comparison is nonsense*.
*Actually, I'd use far FAR stronger terms. |
Very well said!
Also worth mentioning - by staring into the LCD you forget to blink. So this strains the eyes most of all, because of the thin liquid layer infront of your eye which just evaporates. So much about science.
My
personal opinion and study:
I read 8h on the CRT monitor - I feel like crap.
I read 8h on the LCF monitor - I feel like a smaller crap.
I read 8h on my LBook - I feel tired, but nothing compared to reading on screen.
I read 8h on paper - Somewhere around the LBook, somethimes better, somethimes worse, depends on paper color, light, if I'm studying or just reading for fun (
).
To summarize: Every time I think about the moment, when I had to decide if I give 330 € for an eBook reader or for a Netbook, I congratulate myself for making the right decision.
