8ms seems kind of slow to me. Most of the monitors im looking at ar 5 or 6ms.

- Every 20 minutes or so, take a minute to focus your eyes as far as infinite, say, out of your window.

- Since there is something to focus on the monitor -that's why you are infront of a PC- you blink less frequently. And this shortening frequency of blinking slows down the mechanic part of the tear film production of your eyes. IF your eyes are dry, they go red, feel as if there is a foreign substance in which eventually tires out them. So, I know it's hard but try blinking more whenever you remember that you need to while you are looking at your monitor.

- Also technically lower brightness and higher refresh rates are better for your eyes.

Edit: They recommend 4 ms delay rated LCD monitors for gamers.

Gah. More money no doubt? Does having a high definition monitor have a better picture when you play games?

I think it is related with "catching up the movement/action" going on the screen. This may be a bad guess though, I don't have a technical basis saying that. It's just what I heard and related to IMO.
