If light plays a factor in eye strain, then certainly the display type plays a factor as well since different display types have different light characteristics given all other factors are the same, such as environment lighting and ergonomics. Certainly this can be tested, right? I mean, the same tests use to determine the cause of eye strain (I assume they were done) must have tested against different things being looked at and the same tests can be used to test against different display types.
We're talking about eye strain, which can develop in hours or less and not something that many take years, like cancer. Certainly we can get results well before the next advancement in display technology.
I hear some people saying that they have less eye strain when looking at e-ink versus lcd. How about hearing from people that have less eye strain when looking at lcd over e-ink or from people that have used both with no noticed difference? Obviously, it is important for someone to have used both display types because pain (eye strain) is relative. If it's not one-sided, then the factors leading to the difference in results need to be discovered.
