My eyes have been hurt by some recent Macintosh screens (SE, Plus).
Symptoms include sensitivity to light, dryness, grittiness under
the eyelids, soreness.  A brief exposure produced only soreness.

Another screen was mildly irritating; I had to use it with the
intensity turned down low.

I am an experienced Mac user; older Mac screens have never hurt my eyes.

The screens which bothered me had purple tint or blue with slight purple
tint.  I have inspected some of them; mfr is Clinton Taiwan Corp.

Has anyone encountered problems like this?  If so, please reply
to me directly.  You can also post on this bulletin board.
