reduce eye stress (Score 1)

the standard monitor settings and the standard desktop settings cause a lot of stress for the eyes.
- reduce contrast and brightness
- enhance refresh rate (>80)
- use large fonts with AA
- use softer colors e.g. white -> light yellow black -> dark brown
- no glares
- align your monitor so that the screen has a 90 degree angle to your line of sight
if you can't do some of it:
- get a better monitor
- use window shades + lights to get the right light
I used to have problems after a couple of hours, but now I work 9-12h M-F and never have any problems.
