Some Sun Users at ECN have complains about eyestrain problems with Sun monitors. One of them asked If there exist something like a LCD type 1152*900 screen for Sun. (He has severe eyestrain complaints and had to go see a doctor) Does such a beast exists? Does there exist long persistence Mono & color tubes which can replace the standard Sun Video screens? Have you some more suggestions? Please E-mail your opinions/suggestions to bernards@ecn.n. Thanx, Marcel Bernards, UNIX & Net sysadm Netherlands Energy Research Foundation ECN P.O.

In that case you could try reversing the video colors (white fonts on a black background, rather than black on white). Also you can change your default font size so you do not sit so close to the screen. Often part of the problem is room glare, reduce room light. If you have a color monitor there is much more you can do. Try different forground/background color combinations to see what feels good to your eyes (hint: white will probably bother you the most). Avoid combinations of blue and red. There is a lengthy reason to avoid blue/red combinations, but basically your eye has a hard time focusing on red and blue at the same time. I have found an off yellow font on a black background most pleasing to me. On a science show I once saw someone claim that a two_parts_red/two_parts_green /one_part_blue combination is most comfortable to the eyes. It may be "comfortable" but the color comes out looking a sick orange.
