Five Reasons to Choose an Eye-Care Monitor

We tend to escape from blinking light sources, but the fact is that conventional LCD screens flicker at the rate of 250 times per second, which is invisible to naked eyes. If you look at a monitor for 8 hours, your eyes perceive about 5.8 million flickers. Long exposure to this flickering generated by the screen can seriously impact your eye health. Eye fatigue is especially more common among students and workers who rely on computers in their everyday life. This affects their learning and working abilities even more.

BenQ’s monitors are equipped with flicker-free technology, certified by international TÜV Rheinland, to eliminate the main cause of monitor flicker. This reduces the pressure on the eyes as well as eye fatigue from looking at a screen for a long time. Users are offered a chance to use a monitor without compromising on the health of your eyes or display quality.

We discover the world through of the existence of light, which is divided into visible light (420nm~780nm) and invisible light (infrared light >780nm or ultraviolet light <420 nm).

Visible light enters the retina and causes damage to eyes. As we now live in a multi-screen world, blue light, the most powerful visible light, is especially considered hazardous to eyes. When we use a monitor to watch videos, do homework, or play video games for hours, strong blue screen light enters our eyes, which could impact the macula of the retina and eventually lead to eye-related diseases. Blue light can suppress the production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin, resulting in sleep disorders.

BenQ has designed two types of technologies to protect the eye health of both children, whose eyes are under development, and adults. Low Blue Light Technology removes blue light (420~480nm) and Low Blue Light Plus Technology filters harmful radiation (420~455nm) to reduce damage while maintaining picture quality without a color shift into shades of yellow.

When we use monitors for long hours, it is often neglected that ambient light is an important factor influencing our viewing experiences. Strong differences in ambient light and the light from displays can cause eye strain. In a bright environment, eyes need to work harder to avoid the glare caused by reflection. In a dimly lit room, eyes need more energy to focus on a very bright display. As time passes, we might have eye strain or severe problems like headaches and blurred vision.

BenQ’s exclusive Brightness Intelligence Technology (B.I. Tech.) and Brightness Intelligence Plus Technology (B.I.+ Tech.) can automatically adjust the display brightness based on our surroundings. The ambient light sensor in B.I.+ Technology can sense the brightness of our surroundings throughout the day for varying color temperatures. Incorporating proprietary real-time algorithms, B.I.+ automatically adjusts display brightness and color temperature to deliver the most comfortable viewing experience, whether under relaxing warm lighting at home, productive cool white lighting in the office, or sunlight shining through the window.
