kramnelis is correct, you want a constant non-flickering backlight. which is not related to refresh rate
my vote is also for BenQ
i would adjust your budget depending on where your work will be used ie is it for game assets on an HDR-capable...
They are not related. Invisible flickers still cause eyestrain.
60Hz or 240Hz monitors can cause eye strain the same way when they have cheap 1000Hz PWM flickering backlight. This is why DC dimming is the best.
Refresh rate is not a criteria for eye strain when using design software such as static 3D Max. Monitor flickers cause eye strain instead.
Buy the monitor with a flicker-free DC dimming panel to reduce eye strain. BenQ monitors are the best...
Hey does anyone have any monitor recommendations for a professional artist who uses programs like Maya and 3ds MAX? I'm looking for a 27" or 32" that costs less than 1k
Right now I'm thinking the BenQ PD2706UA, it looks like it's an IPS panel...
