[QUOTE="ClockworkWorld, post: 1157069, member: 182559"] As was already said, it seems to be all about the distance from the screen, at least in my case it was. I have had large displays before, and there is NOTHING necessarily unique about the iMac's display (as someone else already posted) they buy their equipment from people who make equipment for other manufacturers. But when I first got my iMac, I had it about where my old computer was, which was much too close. After rearranging things a bit, it's about 30 inches or so from my head, and I've yet to have any headaches or eye pains since. You've probably already tried that, but it worked for me. I really didn't believe that would be the solution. But coming from anything 21 inches or less (my old screen was 21 inches) the 27 iMac is MASSIVE and very hi res, actually higher definition than "hi-def"... So, you really need to make sure you're sitting at a proper angle from it, at a proper distance. (But, like i said you've probably already tried that, naturally. ) But outside that, I don't know of anything that could cause the problem... The way their display is made is really not unique at all. It's applied in a gorgeous way, but the nuts and bolts of it are the same as far as I know of multiple others... [/QUOTE]
