Try increasing your refresh rate to a setting of 72 Hertz or higher. At less than 72 Hertz your screen display is refreshing at such a slow rate that your brain perceives the flicker even if your eyes don’t detect it. Flicker has an effect on your brain and can cause a myriad of symptoms, not limited to fatigue, eye strain, and headaches. If you have trouble figuring out your refresh rate call us.
