@demerius2020 -- Scientifically, human eyes wont be able to detect refresh rates above 60Hz. 4K is just the screen max supported resolution. So, if you are worried about your eyes due to excessive screen time, do this
1. Ensure that you do not run into 'dry eyes', use doc. prescribed eye drops or simple take break from the screen at regular time. Blink.
2. Use good quality 'Blue light glasses'. Readily available online/offline.
3. Reduce glare and optimize brightness.
II have read somewhere that OLED displays are better than LED displays for eyes. I'm yet to research on this.
If you don't game you don't need a high refresh monitor.
Buy 27 inch 4k or 2k monitor and you are good to go.
High resolution (like 2k or 4k) and high refresh rate both have different purpose.
2k above 24" & 4k above 27" is recommended for monitors. It will increase pixel density for sharper images and fonts. More pixel density (ppi = part per inch) means more clear images. You will notice clear and sharp images in 4k (with 4k content being played).
Refresh rate is more likely to be linked with fast moving objects on the screen, mostly for games or video editing software. Movie files generally have 24 to 60 frame rate max so 75hz to 100Hz refresh rate monitor will handle it sufficiently. 100+ refresh rate Monitor is only useful for competitive gaming if GPU in PC can produce similar or more FPS in a game.
IPS monitor will be better for movies. It gives wide Viewing Angles.
Now many monitors come with Eye care technology (built-in blue light filters and reduced flickering), you can check them. They will help to reduce eye strain.
When we are glued to smartphones and monitors we blink lesser and obstruct our natural blinking process, this is one of the most common reason for eye strain. If possible make habit to take a break from screen for few seconds in between & it will help a lot.
You can try "Itone Eye Drop (Ayurvedic)" or "Add Tears Lubricant Eye Drop (Carboxymethylcellulose (0.5% w/v)" to help reduce the eye strain.
ok, to clarify
-when we do all day office task in office we usually sit near to screen and typing or reading tedt mostly, the setting is warm and low light blue
-while for movies we sit away in home(i watch movies only in home on my bed with big monitor on table away) so obiviously the monitor is set to full brightness and max contrast color etc
buy tv of 43 inch
