Chromebook Screen Issue

This is my personal thoughts about the Samsung Chromebook screen and its probably more because of my age and waning eyesight than a real assessment of screen quality. Maybe I've gotten use to crisp letters when reading on a Macbook, IMac, or iPad. These devices have great screens and my eyes don't get tired.

One of the drawbacks of a Chromebook is obviously limited offline capability, but recently I've discovered another. This is probably because I use this cool device all the time. I have discovered that the run time for my Samsung Chromebook is over ten, yes ten, hours. The extended period of time watching a screen has caused quite a strain on my 65+ year-old eyes.

Tilting the screen provides better resolution by changing the contrast.  Although, there may be a way, I can't find a way to change the screen settings. It's possible that other brands may have a better screen. Live and learn!

For the most part though, this shouldn't be an issue for younger eyes. As you become familiar with the chromebook features, I would like to hear your thoughts about anything that you find.
