What computer monitor is the best choice to protecting eyes?

Computers can blur your vision...\n\nSixty million people suffer eye problems due to working on computers, and the number is rising by a million every year.\n\nComputer images are created from thousands of tiny dots – so there is no distinct image for your eye to actually focus on.  You have to focus and refocus to keep the images sharp and after two hours you  end up with the same kind of repetitive stress on your eye muscles as that caused by the keyboard on your wrists.\n\nAll those hours we spend at the computer, straining our eyes, causes a condition known as computer vision syndrome(CVS).  CVS is characterized by eye strain associated with p[prolonged use of computers, with symptoms which include eye fatigue, dryness of the eyes etc.  A number of investigations have indicated that these symptoms occur in 75-90% of computer users.\n\n\nComputer images are created from thousands of tiny dots – so there is no distinct image for your eye to actually focus on.  You have to focus and refocus to keep the images sharp and after two hours you  end up with the same kind of repetitive stress on your eye muscles as that caused by the keyboard on your wrists.\n\n\n\nTips to prevent CVS:\n\n1.Blink frequently to lubricate the eys & prevent dryness – more critical for contact lens wearers.  A conscious effort     should be made to blink frequently.\n2. Take 2-4 minute breaks ever half hour – don’t strain your eyes looking at your computer.\n3. Use anti-glare spectacles preferably with grey tinted lenses, which is a neutral absorber and can filter unwanted effects     of certain colors.\n4. Position the monitor 20-26 inches away from the eyes\n5. Keep the computer screen at your eye level or 5 degrees below the eye level.\n6. Keep the monitor, CPU, keyboard, mouse and other peripherals in easy-to-reach places so as not to strain any other     body parts.\n7. Black characters on a white background are usually best.  Avoid dark back grounds and the size of the text should be     three times the size of  the smallest text you can read.\n8. Arrange light source to minimize glare and reflections on the screen.\n9. Reduce the amount of lighting in the room to match the computer screen.\n10. The use of contact lens re-wetting drops is recommended periodically during the day while using the computer     screen.\n11. Use anti-glare computer screen.\n12. Keep your computer screen free of dust.

Viewsonic is having the best monitors in the world and u can have 3ms refresh rate in this company

It's not recommended to do that, because the resolution of a TV screen is much lower than that of a PC monitor.  Your eyes will go bad pretty quickly.\n\nHowever, if you're wanting to do that, visit Circuit City or Best Buy.  There are a number of small, inexpensive (under $50) gadgets that will do this for you.

800x600 is okay for most of the monitors selling in the market, cause 17" is most popular in term of price and view, and its default setting the best for the dimension, 1024x768 might leave you with a lot of white space on one side, and too compact on the other.

Your choice for the scree depends hoe you intend to use it ie business,games , video editing ,etc\n\nIf you will play a lot of games you will require at least 17 inch if not more with a high refresh rate.\nThe brands that you can have varies on locations .\nCheck out some reviews below and see if you can find one to fit your requirements.

Either 1280x1024 or 1440x900 are good resolutions. Your  monitor will display almost any resolution but it's recommended resolution is the only one that matters. Either will look good as long as you pick the one recommended for your monitor. \n\n1280x1024 is a much more common recommended resolution.\n\nWhat is more important is that you use a DVI connection (white) vs VGA (blue). This gives you the clearest, uncompressed digital video currently availible. VGA is analog so it is not as clear. If you have it on the back of your computer (usually the case if you have a grahpics card), you'll be good to go. Otherwise, VGA should do the trick.\n\nA good cheapie under $300? Sure, I recommend this one:\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116355\nYou can go cheaper but not much better. This one has value, a response time of 5ms (great for movies and gaming- no ghosting. I notice some at 8ms but none at 5ms, which is why I didn't recommend the one at buy.com), good brightness and is well reviewed. Reputable brand and rebate seal the deal.\n\nHope this helps!

Here are some ideas to look at:\n\nSoft cloth, anti-static cloth, water, specialized screen cleaner, microfiber cleaning cloths\n\nTechnique:\n\n1. Conventional wisdom is that you should only clean a screen with a damp cloth, as many screens have an anti-glare coating that you risk damaging if you use a harsh household cleaner. Even traditional window cleaners can damage some coatings and screens, especially on laptop computers. Always check your manual.\n\n2. Screen wipes are also available which are also great for the keyboard and general cleaning. Wipe your screen first, then the keyboard, mouse, and casing. Stop your computer from getting dirty in the first place by having them handy to wipe the grease off your fingers after eating junk food. \n\n3. If you are using just a damp cloth to wipe the screen, be sure to dry it off as well to prevent streaking.\n\n4. When cleaning the monitor casing use a soft cloth with your cleaning fluid. Always spray onto the cloth, not the equipment!\n\n5. Antistatic sprays and other specialty cleaning chemicals are very common, and are formulated so they will not cause damage to even the most sensitive screens. Their effectiveness is questioned by some, but others swear by them. The theory is that as the product cleans it leaves a neutral charge, whereas a positive or negative charge will attract dust. The effectiveness is likely more a result of environment, but considering the insignificant cost it is probably worth it.\n\nMy favorite is using a good microfiber cloth slightly damp on one side and polishing clean with the dry side, I really never use chemical.  The microfiber cloths are really great that way.

use a screen glare reducing sheet, wearing eye glasses. cold water on eyes every little while.I have an LCD flat screen monitor and it helps a little bit, but try the other things, pick up some cheap non prescription reading glasses and wear these all the time at the computer.

They are lighter to move around, they take up less space. The quality of picture/image is much better than that of a CRT monitor.\n\nBefore I purchased my LCD monitor, I was getting headaches a few hours after sitting at the computer. After I purchased my LCD, they went away. So LCD's help put less straining on the eyes.

Isolation from actual human to human contact. \nSloppier hand writing\nInability to spell (spell check does it for kids)\nInability to resolve conflict face to face.\nCan cause arguments because people can't "read" the other person's IM, email etc and think that someone is ticked when the other isn't.\n\n\nps: Does the person above me really think she/he is receiving diseases from the minimal amount of radiation from the monitor???? . Is working with computers as harmful as watching TV for long periods of time? How harmful are the radiations from the computer as compared to that caused by TV?\n\nA. Modern computer screens emit very little radiation and are very safe. Issues with regards to eye strain because of computer usage (Computer Vision Syndrome) are mostly due to bad contrast/excessive or poorly illuminated screens / background illuminations / posture / positioning of the monitor and ocular conditions such as dry eyes / allergic conjunctivitis, uncorrected refraction errors esp. astigmatism & convergence insufficiency. \n\n\nIf these aspects are looked at carefully, computer usage & TV viewing, even over long periods, is not harmful. The screens should be flicker free with high refresh rates (Hz). It is also recommended that a few minutes of rest be taken after 30-40 minutes of use.

Hi there,\n\nThe viewing distance from the screen to the eyes should be seventeen to twenty-six inches. \n\nSome eye relaxation exercises would also help.\n\n:)

The problem with most current LCD technology is that the chrominance isn't as good as with traditional CRT-based monitors. There are some LCD ones just coming out that have full-color backlight which should make them actually _better_ than CRTs (according to some Wired article I read, anyhow.)\n\nPersonally, I've been pretty happy with the Dell 24xx monitors - they're under $1k, they have a multitude of inputs, and I think I've only got one stuck pixel (and no dead ones.) You're still going to have to color-correct anyway, but you'd have to do that on _any_ monitor you get. (A good gamma correction curve will solve a multitude of ills.)

It sounds like what you are looking for is a High Definition LCD TV that you can also use as a computer monitor. \n\nIf this is correct, the Dell W2607C 26" LCD HDTV may be a good choice. Here's the link at the Dell Canada site:\n\nhttp://www1.ca.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/lcd_w2607c?c=ca&cs=CADHS1&l=en&s=dhs#tabtop\n\nHowever, there is a limitation on the resolution when used with a computer. For best results you need to run the unit at its native resolution, 1366 x 768.\n\nThis is a relatively low res when compared to dedicated computer LCD monitor. Of course they don't have built-in tuners or remotes.\n\nHope this helps.

Hmmm well take care yours eye well that's the most important, avoid watcihng/playing or stond TV/Monitor for long peiod of time, when proper eye protection during certain harzard.  Avoid fatty food, fat = increase blindness.

Depend on the choice of applications you run..\nIf you want it for entertainment purpose, go for TFT monitors.

You should look at the resolution, brilliance, contrast and response time.\n\nFor image processing, the contrast factor is very important.   I would say at least 500:1 \n\nIf you play video games, response time is crucial. It should be as small as possible. 12 ms at most.\n\nIf your computer has a graphics card with a DVI output, then  I recommend that you look for an LCD monitor that has a DVI input.\n\nLook also for companies that offer three years (or more) manufacturer guarantee.

My eye doctor told me one of the problems is that, when you work on a computer, you don't use your eyes to focus at different distances the way you do in other types of work.  He recommended looking across the room at a clock or reading from a paper or some other way to exercise focusing your eyes at different distances. Set a timer to make sure you do it regularly.  I also think working long hours on a computer may be harmful because the computer screen is a light source and you're looking right at it.  It might help to have a lot of light in the room to counter the effects of that.
