Hi,

I have the opportunity to pick up a 27" LG 5K monitor at almost half of todays retail price.
The seller says he hasn't had any issues with interference.
Would you buy it?
 
So, I bought the monitor, and it looks great. However I'm struggling with eye strain when using it. I had the first 5k iMac and had the same problem with that screen. I sold the iMac a few years ago, and forgot about the issue until I sat down with the LG monitor yesterday.
I know others have had the same issues with the 5k monitors, and that there isn't any real medical reason for this eye strain. Has anyone else with the same issues found a solution to be able to use the monitor without getting tired eyes?

I'm fine with my mbp 13" retina screen...
