How so? I'd expect two monitors showing the same thing at the same brightness would be physiologically identical.

The monitor my work provided me is much more recent and it touts:

Reduced blue light emissions (thought I don't know how that should be achieved without affecting color accuracy)
90 Hz refresh rate
Potentiometric brightness control to avoid PWM flicker

Some individuals are much more sensitive to the latter two, but I don't feel much of a downgrade when I come home to my crappy old monitors, hence I joke that my eyes suck.
