After I had a psychosis (it was still 'active' at the time, in hindsight, but not as severe) I couldn't use a monitor for long, especially not gaming. It gave me immediate motion sickness, or made the headache more severe. Hw was TFT 1080p LCD screen, GPU was probably AMD 7770 HD, since a few years afterwards I replaced that with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960.

My matte MBP 2010 didn't yield me this issue, but I didn't game on it either; just watched movies/series. A lot of them.

I grew up with CRT monitors though, and these could cause severe headaches. Especially if resolution too high.
