Antiglare 15" MBP and... eyestrain?

-

folks,

have been having heck of time lately. used 17" antiglare mbp while (it wife) , loved living daylights out of it. screen gorgeous. bought 1 myself, in 15". and... terrible. screen literally gave me eyestrain after minute or 2 of use, consistently. polled bunch of other people @ office, , @ least 1 other guy had same reaction - after couple minutes of reading text on had headache.

i've found 1 or 2 people online have reported this, although i've hardly done exhaustive search.

ringing bell anyone? maybe need new glasses (although couple months ago got full ophthalmological workup , told current pair fine)? wanted love machine ended hating , selling it. i'm in market another...

i'm sort of holding out hope new mythical 15" air/pro coming out fall have polycarbonate screen air neither glass nor ag low-gloss plastic.

thoughts? don't want ag vs. glossy battle, because that's been rehashed 100 times. want know if i'm alone in "eyes hurt on 15" ag not 17" ag reason" , if or others did fix it?
 

i have 15" hr ag , bother eyes sometimes. read online may led backlighting issue rather resolution or antiglare coating. bought pair of gunnar glasses designed reduce eye strain , wear when i'm @ computer long stretches. use external monitor lot of time.

have netbook uses led backlighting , has similar pixel density feel though it's symptom of amount of field of vision 15" screen fills tires eyes. notice @ dusk when there's low light , eyes feel tired , have more trouble focussing should.

sounds stupid make compromises didn't notice bothering me until i'd had laptop 2 months , outside of trying hr glossy there isn't computer i'd rather have adapt , live it.

hello all. title suggest, i'm thinking using mac os x server file server 50/50 split mac , pc workgroup. background : can't take performance hit comes having os x clients use smb. target used time machine. extremez-ip extremelast-resort because of cost. os x (lion) server on site. entire windows infrastructure virtualized, , because of way esxi handles max size of virtual disks, have have 4 separate volumes per 1 tb of data, not preferable. proposed solution: os x lion server hosts home directories , giant community directory. file protocols enabled on server. performance problems os x implementation of smb (which understand has changed)? commentaries great.   hi, there's earlier post contributed has possibly useful details on server platforms in mixed environments: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=13042520&highlight=#post13042520 i...
