Eye/head irritaiton M1 Air screen?

[nStyle]

I don't know if this is placebo or not but I feel like my eyes are strained more looking at my M1 Air screen than any other screen I have. Doesn't happen on OLED iPhone, miniLED iPad, multiple LCD monitors around the house, etc. The more I look at it, the more my eyes adjust but if I switch between different screens I feel like it comes right back.

Idk what it could be. It's my favorite computer ever made otherwise.

You might need to turn down font smoothing. I found the text blurry until I turned it from 2 to 1. https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/disable-font-smoothing-in-macos-big-sur/

I too experienced eyestrain and headache and ended up returning it.
