@Kunaltech,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

The HP L1908w monitor is an older model that uses CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlighting technology, which can cause some visual discomfort compared to modern LED-backlit displays. While the radiation from such monitors is negligible and well within safe limits (meeting international safety standards), the discomfort you’re experiencing is likely due to other factors:

Possible Causes and Suggestions:

1. Eye Strain from Flickering:
   Older monitors with CCFL backlighting might cause flickering, which isn't visible to the naked eye but can lead to headaches and eye strain.

   • Solution: Adjust the brightness and contrast settings. Lowering the brightness to a comfortable level may reduce strain.

2. Color and Resolution Limitations:
   The color gamut and resolution of older monitors might not provide the crisp, comfortable viewing experience of newer models.

   • Solution: Consider upgrading to a modern LED or LCD monitor with a higher resolution and better color accuracy.

3. Ambient Lighting:
   Improper room lighting can exacerbate eye strain.

   • Solution: Ensure the room is well-lit with minimal glare on the screen. Position the monitor to avoid light reflections.

4. Prolonged Use:
   Extended periods of screen time can naturally lead to discomfort.

   • Solution: Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

If You Decide to Upgrade:

Modern monitors are designed with user comfort in mind and often include:

• Flicker-free technology.
• Blue light reduction settings.
• High resolutions (Full HD, 4K).

For an affordable upgrade, look at HP’s current monitor lineup or other brands offering IPS panels for better viewing angles and eye comfort.

Let me know if you have any further questions or need help choosing a new monitor!
