how close are you sitting? I bought a new one a few days ago and it took a few hours to get used to, and my eyes were whaling afterwards.

Give your eyes a break for an hour and then return to it.

I've had this and it was due to the default setting of the new screen...

Have a play with the brightness and contrast and adjust to suit.

The main reasons behind it will be one of the following:

The screen is differernt size and its taking time to adjust,
the screen settings are not right for you, ie brightness etc
you're sitting to close
you need glasses

I;ve used loads of different monitors and after playing around a bit with the settins have had no problems i;ve used pretty much all the ain EU brands and have also used differnt sizes from 14" to 32" monitor's

I Actul do need glasses but i always loose then so i'll just get contacts tihs time

Probably the 8 hours of gaming

If it is a full 1080P TV then it maybe upscaling a picture which will pixelate it which your eyes may find hard to get used to.

The refresh rate also may hurt your eyes if it is not quite right. This is how quickly the screen flashes and can cause your eyes to ache a little if incorrect.
