I have recently purchased a Samsung 245bw and have been test driving it for a few hours. I love the panel! its perfect for gaming and coding. I have ONE problem with it! after a few minutes of use I can literally feel the heat dissipating from the panel :( my face feels like its been in front of direct sun and my eyes dry out pretty quick. Is this normal? does it have to do with the panel settings? I haven't altered any settings yet. My old 20inch LG did not have any of these issues. Is this common for 24inch TF panels? or do I just have sensitive skin/eyes?
 
It's just that the panel is bigger than your previous LCD and it'll take some time for your eyes to adjust.
 
hmm, maybe somethings wrong with yours. i have the same monitor and mine puts off very little heat compared to the other 24" monitors i've tried (hp w2408, acer x241w and lg l246). but then again i run my brightness under 40 even in sunlight
 
I can feel heat radiating off my LG, too. Maybe try adjusting the brightness as others have suggested or sit a little further away.
