Eye strain but only in tourney settings?

Hey all, I started going to locals recently, and I'm not sure whether it's the monitors they're using, or the environment, but I found I was experiences significantly worse eye strain even though I played only a fraction of what I would play at home.

I'm now debating in investing in a pair of blue-blocking lenses(as well as switching to a tourney legal monitor while at home), but was wondering if this is a common problem. At home i play on a pretty basic 32" LCD, at locals we were playing on 23-24" monitors. This is the only place (aside from 8hrs at work) where I've experienced any sort of strain or dry eyes.

Appreciate the thoughts/opinions.

I'm pretty sure tourneys deliberately use old, outdated, grainy TVs to reduce "input lag".
