    What kind of monitor do you use: LCD or CRT ?

    And which one do you think is easier on the eyes ?

    I've had 19" LCD for a year now and my eyes hurt all the time.
    Thinking about switching back to a good CRT.

          Yeah I thought LCDs were meant to stop them hurting. Maybe you have it set up bad or have bad lighting in your room or something.

          This is where my next million is coming from!

                      Both.

                      LCD to work on, CRT that is on a different screen resolution for reviewing.

                        i think you posted you got the samsung syncmaster 19'?

                        i also got that one and it's far better for my eyes than the old CTR

                        sure, eyes can hurt sometimes even with an LCD, so just try to take a break ocassionally and don't sit in front of the pc a few hours
                        even a 3 minutes break, f.e looking outside the window does well for my eyes
                        I don't use ICQ anymore.

                            Sony 17" LCD at home - its absolutely perfect

                            21" CRT at work (need lots of screen space when writing code)
                            I don't endorse a god damn thing......

                                    LCD is alot better on the eyes.. you might have the refresh rate set to something weird which is causing the pain. 17" TFT ... saw a nice 20" in the local shops going for $750, I was so close to buying it, but then I remembered that particular model had an issue with dead pixels, nothing would suck more than a TFT with 1 dead pixel =/

                                      CRT is still better quality and cheaper... why bother with LCD?

                                            actually its pretty normal to happen if you work too long..

                                            LCD's all the way
                                            -> more work space
                                            -> much easier on the eyes
                                            -> less power usage
                                            -> affordable
