[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1461363"] Been thinking about this, and there could be an issue with sensitivity to flicker I suppose. That might explain why the OP has trouble with the iMac but not other devices: their flicker rate is likely to be different. Refresh rate can be adjusted in Mountain Lion by visiting Displays in System Preferences and changing the resolution setting to "scaled" and then adjusting as needed. I wish the OP had tried some of the suggestions put forth, or even just hooked up a second monitor and let us know if THAT one game him the same issue -- it would REALLY help nail down what's really going on there. I also second chscag's suggestion to visit an eye doctor, I suspect there's an issue there that the OP just wasn't aware of because he hadn't previously been exposed to whatever is causing the issue on the iMac. The fact that he mentioned removing the glass (!!) tells me also that he ignored mine and other people's post about the cheap, simple fix for glare issues: controlling your lighting. [/QUOTE]
