I've recently bought this laptop and I'm definitely experiencing eye strain with this model. I'd like to know if anyone else has had the same problems. before searching for other causes I can tell you I didn't have any problem with my previous laptop which is a dell insipron 6400.
I've always thought matt screen are more suitable for eye strain problems but it seems it' not the case with this monitor I'm using.

1. Have you got the display set to run at its native resolution (1366 x 768)?
2. Make sure you have ClearType enabled and run the ClearType tuner (Start > Run ClearType).
3. You could try using Windows 7 display calibrator (Start > Run > Calibrate).

yes I've tried these solutions. Today I've run into this article on wikipedia:
Liquid crystal display - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As of 2012, most implementations of LCD backlighting use PWM to dim the display,[45] which makes the screen flicker more acutely (this does not mean visibly) then a CRT monitor at 85 Hz refresh rate would (this is because the entire screen is strobing on and off rather than a CRT's phosphor sustained dot scanning across the display), causing severe eye-strain for some people.[46][47] Unfortunately, many of these people don't know that their eye-strain is being caused by the invisible strobe effect of PWM.[48] This problem is worse on many of the new LED backlit monitors, because the LEDs have a faster turn-on/turn-off time than a CCFL bulb.
maybe this model is one of those very stressing for the eyes of people subject to this problem. -
Are both screen matte or glossy or different?

I have noticed the backlight flicker on some LED backlit notebook displays when used at their lowest brightness. There's an easy fix: Turn up the brightness by a step or two.
