iMac 24 inch glossy screen eye fatigue

Hi!

Anyone knows if 2021 iMac 24 inch uses the same glossy coating as earlier Imacs 21 and 27 inch?

The glossy screen of 24 inch iMac causes me eye strain and fatigue which I did not have at all on 2014 Mac book pro glossy screen.

I wonder if this is the case for all the iMacs due to the larger size of the screen or different glossy technology on iMacs than on older Mac books.

Anyone tried put anti-glare screen protector on iMac, does it make it any better when it comes to lowering reflections?

Read in the other thread that iMac screen uses double layer of glass which increases glossiness and reflection.

iMac should come up with standard matte screen, not that fancy nano thing for $500 that makes the text blurry.

Are the screens on iMac Pro also glossy?

Thanks!


iMac 24″, macOS 12.2

Consider changing your light sources in the room, whether that is closing the blinds during certain parts of the day, or turning off brighter incident sources of lights, or re-orienting the screen of your iMac. Worst case, wear sunglasses, as that is what I had to do back in the day when Sun monitors had no anti-glare coating and my back was to a large window.
