- LED/OLED/AMOLED/Super AMOLED

 - LCD (e.g. TFT)
- Plasma
- DLP
- SED
- New CRT’s
 - Any others

 

 

 

 

 

Assuming ambient light, settings, distance-to-size ratio e.t.c. are the same; rank the types of monitors generally for health and eyes (combined).

 

 

 

 

By ‘health’ I mean which is the least unhealthy for the brain (This Is What Too Much Screen Time Does To You) and skin (Lights off: is the glare from your computer really ageing your skin?) E.g. In terms of the type of light). By ‘eyes’ I meant which is the least damaging to eyes.

 

 

An example of what I mean by unhealthy light is blue light. Studies have been done with blue light and monkeys (which obviously have over 90% the same DNA sequence and respond very similarly). 

 

A question could be: Assuming all else is constant (and if different types of monitors generally emit different amounts of blue light); how much blue light do these types of monitors generally emit?

 

 

 

I am looking for the health and eye damage of types of monitors to buy one of them.

Mostly newer TVs nowadays has some kind of technology that prevents eye damage, so just pick any of them.

Yeah, I agree. A press release for the announcement called the EyeSafe Display Standard ”the most advanced health and safety requirement for protecting users’ eyes from the most toxic regions of blue light while maintaining color integrity.” Well, that's a relief!
