Your eyes burn after looking at a device with a ’pretty high’ brightness? Well, I’m someone who likes to keep devices near their lowest brightness setting. As someone who has sat down and read for 6 hours almost non-stop on my phone (11 Pro Max) and on my iPad (11 Pro 2018) - I find brightness to be a fairly significant irritant for my eyes. But I wouldn’t say burning... I’d say pain.
To read successfully, make sure you’re well hydrated. I find a lot of people I know to drink nowhere near the amount of water they should be - combined with a high sodium diet, ... looking at a device today for long periods of time, especially on high brightness, is not going to be comfortable.
For most people, though, OLED is far easier on the eyes than LCD. I’m one of the “most people” - I have read countless books on my pre-OLED phones and find my OLED devices significantly easier to read on.
However, that is most. Some people are sensitive to certain light types. For some, CFLs are really distracting. For others, LEDs are really distracting. For some, blue light is comfortable, others have to have the warm yellow glow. Some see flickering and get headaches with OLED.
Gotta find what works for ya.
And yes, leave the brightness low. As someone who (can) read 3-4 hours a day on their iPad ... it’s a significant factor in eye strain.
Like now i see it shows - specific specs on display type aren’t easy to find.
