Laptop Screen Hurts Eyes When On Battery

[rg12]

My brand new ASUS laptop makes me like lose focus or something and blink with great effort looking at the screen while on battery mode only.
I checked the refresh rate and it is locked on 60hz and can't be changed up or down.

Have you considered Blue light blocking glasses ?

Seems like too much...
It's only with this new laptop, never happened before

Is this because screen is not as bright when running on battery?

Try this:
How to adjust a laptop's brightness when on battery

Leaving laptop plugged in seems like the best option.

Try turning off some lights in the room where you are using laptop.

Same brightness, it lowers only on low battery...

Time to Refresh (Your Monitor)

If you find that a service like f.lux isn’t for you, there’s another option you might want to try. You may have read about refresh rates in tech articles, but allow me to give a brief explanation of what they are and why they’re important.

When you look at a computer monitor, you’re not seeing a single, static image. What you’re actually seeing is the same image, refreshed many times per second—creating the illusion that your screen is smooth. If you’re using an older monitor, you may notice it flickering slightly. What you’re seeing is a refresh rate so low that your human eyes are taking notice. This is very typical at the frequencies of 59 Hz and 60 Hz, the latter being the most commonly used refresh rate in laptops and LCD (flat-screen) monitors.

A higher refresh rate means a smoother-looking screen that is easier on the eyes. For the average financial advisor dealing with eye strain, a refresh rate of 120 Hz is optimal. There is absolutely no need to pursue those high-end 144 Hz or 240 Hz monitors you’ve seen on Amazon or at Best Buy. Unless you’re doing heavy gaming or video watching/editing, you will most likely not be able to see the difference between 120 Hz and anything higher. With that said, try using a 120 Hz screen for a few hours and then switch back to a 60 Hz one. The difference between the two is so palpable that your eyes will start to strain almost immediately.

Adding some words to the search like, ASUS, Windows 10, [If that's the operating system?], laptop model number? Might get a better result to see how others resolved the same issue.

If you do figure this out? Post results here as a service to everyone who looks at the internet.

Will check but now am afraid of the lowered battery time...
Any idea how much it lowers it?

Try changing settings and test by using laptop. Measure time that battery lasts. Change it back and measure again. At my shop [desktop computer] I changed the settings so that the monitor stays on all the time. Easier when I am fixing something and I want to keep looking at a service manual or something.
