Title. I read text on my screen for 8-10 hours a day for my job and then game for fun… when my health allows! I have serious chronic migraines and also get extremely motion sick while playing FPS titles.

My daily driver has been a Samsung G50SD 1440 but it’s not a big enough screen for my job and the VRR flicker is VERY intrusive. Previously had an Alienware IPS doublewide and thinking of going back to that or the OLED equivalent.

My understanding is OLED is better for motion sickness and IPS is better for migraine, but I have no idea what I’m doing. Money is an issue so a $2000 500hz 8K OLED or whatever isn’t going to be possible, but if I need to stay under $1000 max what would you suggest?

I live in a wildly expensive city that I have to work so hard to barely scrape by in, and my partner has had enough. She wants to move out somewhere rural and more affordable.

I have very severe chronic migraines, primarily vestibular and visual symptoms. Treatment with multiple CGRP drugs has gotten me down from multiple attacks a day to about 10-15 or so a month. But I get relatively little warning and my abortives only take the edge off.

I haven’t been able to drive basically the entire time I’ve been dealing with this, my whole adult life, but I just cannot afford to live well on my income in areas with good transit, and she’s tired of city life. What am I supposed to do? Biking isn’t much better with vestibular issues, and we can’t just buy a self-driving car yet…
