Unusual problem with display

Hi Linuxers!

I installed Arch ( netinstall)  for about week ago and It works great! Everything started to work almost "out-of-box". I just had to install few things but I did it without any problems - just using wiki on this page

I installed gnome and gnome-extra ( or something like that - I do not remember exactly ) and, off course, nvdia driver from pacman ( I have GT320M ). On this lap top I have Ubuntu 9.04, too,  with installed nvidia driver downloaded from nVidia site.

Now... PROBLEM is next:

when I work on Arch, after few minutes, my eyes start to pain ( hurt ) me! I do not see anything strange, anything what is to much different than in Ubuntu but it's just hapening... I tried to change font, but it doesn't help! Refresh rate is 60Hz, resolution 1600x900 ( in NVIDIA X Server Settings ) Here is SS:

Does anyone have idea what is posible problem? Do you have same problem when watching my ScreenShoot?

You're being blinded by the awesome that is Arch Linux. Please wear sunglasses.

Re: Unusual problem with display

probably the best solution would be to try a higher refresh rate, most monitors can support 75Hz or higher.  The higher the refresh rate, the lower the eye strain.

Perhaps the colour scheme as well (okay I admit it, I hate your colour scheme). Try a dark theme.

@Cyrusm: It is lap top 17" monitor and in nvidia setting there is only 60hz and Auto options. I set it to 60 just like in Ubuntu.

@ngoonee: why do you hate color scheme, it's default Gnome there I tried allready change of theme, but problem is not solved...
