IPS burning my eyeballs out

Hey guys, as someone that has been using an ASUS VP278H monitor for some years now, I thoguht it time for a reasonable upgrade. I chose to purchase an ASUS TUF VG279QL, which is a 120Hz IPS montor and was initially quite impressed with the build quality, features and picture it created. After a couple of hours though, I found that it was far too bright even on the standard settings and actually began causing pressure in my eyes and head, and causing my tinnitus to increase. After reducing the brightness and contrast I found the symptoms were reduced significantly, but so was the quality of the picture (especially when a dark scene was produced).

I was wondering if this would be the case of the new QD-LED and WOLED screens - that is, are they as abrasive or as blisteringly bright as the IPS monitors? I appreciate that that may be slightly arbitrary, but I don't want to make another purchase if it's going to cause me the same discomfort.

Thank you,

Drewsan
