Has anybody considered that the LCDs have no flicker and so are much less
tiring and cause less eye strain. I believe there are no X-rays from LCDs
either. The CRTs are supposed to be sheilded by thick glass, but I never
put much faith in the engineers when companies are driven more by profits
than public safety.
I got a 22" LCD screen, (wide format and HD capable), when I got my new
computer. I just love it.
