Guest Blink_182_fan Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 I'm using an old monitor for my new PC as i am broke and don't want to buy a new one and i have been using this one since 4.00 because i was reformatting my PC (because stupid PC world forgot to when i bought the ex display model off them :angry: ) and i have a throbbing headache and i don't want to keep taking taking headache tablets (are what ever you cal them) all the time and i was wondering if there was anything i could do to stop headaches except not use the computer at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellie2 Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 well you should take a break away from the screen every twenty minutes... even if it is just looking to the corner of the room to give your eyes something different to focus on.Have you checked your refresh rate?

trackrat Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 If you are using XP, right click your desktop, left click properties, click settings, click advanced, click monitor and reset your refresh rate from the dropdown box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Blink_182_fan Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 what would reduce the headaches more increasing the refresh rate or decreasing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Increasing it, but I thought 75 should be OK?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
