Looking to buy another 27" monitor...

What is the minimum refresh rare i should be looking at for least eye strain? :eek:
 
Eye strain has more to do with other factors besides refresh rate. Most LCDs do not flicker, so it is more about brightness, dot pitch, and room lighting.
 
I have currently have a SAMSUNG S27A850D.

Great monitor BUT it literally is killing my eyes and causing a headache.

The refresh rate on this monitor is 60hz, so would it help if i got a monitor that had a higher refresh rate 120hz?

It won't be any better for stationary content. To reiterate, LCD's do not flicker.

No. Try turning down the brightness

That is the First thing i did.. its currently down to 36 from 100.

Do you think that the viewing distance would make a difference? How far should i sit from the monitor?
 
2-3ft should be fine. 36 Brightness is still quite bright, I use 19 for 120cdm/2 on mine.

The problem likely lies with your eyes or room lighting.
 
Do you use your computer in a dim or bright environment? If dim, consider bias lighting. If bright, ensure that your monitor is positioned to minimize glare/reflection.
