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.

These screens feel harsh to my eyes; they also "feel" brighter than they look.

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

Has anyone encountered problems like this?  (PLEASE BE ALERT TO PEOPLE YOU
KNOW OR MIGHT HEAR ABOUT.)  If so, please reply to me directly.
You can also post on the  comp.sys.mac  bulletin board.

Here's more info:

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.

My eyes were hurt very badly by some of these Mac screens;
the screens made my eyes were so dry that mild breezes bothered them,
making it very uncomfortable to take a walk outdoors.
Now, after months of slow recovery, eyes are bothering me a little.

If you know of anyone who has had similar problems (perhaps
milder or shorter lasting) please contact me directly.
