Alright I think we got it figured out. It wasn't just me, I did a test with a few other people and it hurt their eyes too. Certain games are worse than others and oblivion is one of the ones that is bad. I went to the doctor even though I'm up to date on my prescription, he said my eyes were perfectly healthy and everything was okay. He said it sounded like a focusing issue. I went home and tried a few other things and still had problems, so I turned it back to 1920x1080p. Out of sheer exasperation I got about three feet away and I was fine? It makes sense now because when I used to played on a old 32" I sat only a few feet away. Of course that was a old tube tv and not hd. I feel silly sitting that close to a huge screen so I went ahead and got a 23" Asus monitor and I hope that fixes all the issues :thumbsup: . I think it depends on the person really so if you ever get eyestrain try different things there are very mixed answers online about viewing distance and eye health.
