I’m too much of a display enthusiast to not at least give it a try.
#Large touch screen monitors and eye strain pro
I do feel good about the M1 Pro as my first-generation 15” Retina MacBook Pro served me well for nearly a decade.
#Large touch screen monitors and eye strain update
I just purchased the 14” MacBook Pro, so I’ll definitely update on how I do with that display assuming I keep the order before it’s shipped instead of waiting for the M2 Pro generation. I also have an autoimmune condition that is characterized by inflammation and I am guessing that probably made me more prone to the eye issues. I do find it very interesting how all these different factors are often interrelated. I've combined that with the use of a Bruder Mask and eyelid scrubs/massages to unblock the oil glands and tear ducts. At night I've also used several of the preservative-free white petroleum + mineral oil ointments and find they help a lot (even though they are a bit messy). They are really thick and preservative-free, and last much longer than thinner drops. If it is of help, I really like the eye drops called Celluvisc.

In my case, I think the PWM (maybe also the brightness, or blue light, or a combination of things about OLED?) may have been the straw that broke the camel's back when everything was compiled together. You're most welcome and I hope my experience helps! I have found that astigmatism, eyestrain, and headaches are definitely all interrelated, and it seems to be further exacerbated by dry eyes (which in and of themselves can further blur vision, which then makes digital eye strain worse in what I've found to be a nasty cycle given looking at a screen also causes less/poor blinking=dry eyes).
