I recently upgraded to the 55HX929 from a 6 year old 50" Pioneer Plasma. Has anyone else noticed any sort of visual effects related to these newer LCD's? I ask because between my brothers 65" Samsung 8000 series and my new television, I can't seem to watch anything for a long period of time. Anything > 60 minutes I guess.

I seem to be getting headaches, or sometimes it just seems like I am having eye strain, and have to take a break every so often. This has never happened before, and it never happens when I go see movies at a movie theater, but only at home.

Any ideas?? Or is it just me? Thanks in advance!

Depending upon the calibration, LCDs tend to be brighter than plasmas, so you might be reacting to that.

Or, if the image is sharper, your eyes are trying to resolve the lines and that might be causing eyestrain.

You might want to try watching in a partially lit room so that there's less contrast.

In any case, you might want to get your eyes checked. It might just be a coincidence that you didn't feel eyestrain when watching the plasma.
