Digital devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and laptops are used for various purposes. The digital display quality has been improved, making it less tiring and more favoured among users. This study aimed to review the visual comfort of digital devices and the preferences of digital display settings that enhance the visual comfort experienced by digital device users.
A search of PubMed, EBSCO host MEDLINE Complete, Scopus database, Google Scholar, and manual citation review was conducted, covering the period between 2010 and 2022. The criteria were selected based on the PRISMA statements. The search mainly focused on finding the existing literature on digital devices that contribute to visual discomfort and digital device settings that provide better visual comfort.
The database search resulted in 533 references via the application of Microsoft Excel. There were 28 studies included in the final assessment. Twelve studies accounted for digital devices that contributed to visual discomfort, while another sixteen studies for digital device settings provided better visual comfort.
Digital displays with high luminance contrast, positive polarity and adequate colour were preferred for better visual comfort. Meanwhile, smaller fonts were preferred for desktops and laptops, while larger fonts were favoured for smartphones. This study provides insights for digital display developers to learn and improve their display technology to fit the preferences expressed.
智能手机、平板电脑、电脑和笔记本电脑等数字设备有多种用途。数字显示质量已经得到改善，使用起来不那么累人，更受用户青睐。本研究旨在综述数字设备的视觉舒适度以及数字显示设置的偏好，这些设置可增强数字设备用户的视觉舒适度。
检索了PubMed、EBSCOhost MEDLINE Complete、Scopus数据库、谷歌学术，并进行了手动文献综述，涵盖2010年至2022年期间。根据PRISMA声明选择标准。搜索主要集中在寻找有关导致视觉不适的数字设备以及提供更好视觉舒适度的数字设备设置的现有文献。
通过应用Microsoft Excel，数据库搜索得到533篇参考文献。最终评估纳入了28项研究。12项研究涉及导致视觉不适的数字设备，另外16项关于数字设备设置的研究提供了更好的视觉舒适度。
具有高亮度对比度、正极性和适当颜色的数字显示屏更有利于视觉舒适度。同时，桌面电脑和笔记本电脑更喜欢较小的字体，而智能手机则更喜欢较大的字体。本研究为数字显示开发者提供了见解，以便他们学习和改进其显示技术，以符合所表达的偏好。
