Do LCD monitors cause less vision problems than ordinary computer monitors?

i had always read that they did. that is why i went and got one. my eyes do not seem to get as tired and red as they did before.

Dcreasing the refresh rate increases flickering, increasing eye strain, but few people notice any change above 60-72 Hz.

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.

I have the same problem, I just found out I need glasses for it, but also for distance and stigmatism.  Nice combo, basically I need bifocals at the age of 25. :(  But the doc did say the computer is bad for the eyes, so every 20 minutes, you should look 20 feet away and look at that place for 20 seconds. 20/20/20.  It is supposed to help your eyes refresh.  Sleeping a full night helps too, don't forget to blink, use drops if needed.  The problem with computer screens is that each tiny pixel in the screen is moving on its own, almost flickering.  We can't see it because the flicker and pixels are so so small, but the eye needs to use more energy to focus on that screen, thus damaging your eye sight.  Get glasses, computer glasses, they are supposed to help, I am waiting to buy mine because I don't have eye insurance in 2006, but will sign up for it in 2007.

Go with a LCD monitor.  No radiation because they don't use a crt

Depents on the screen type you have.  If you have an LCD screen I would recommend staying away from Windex and glass cleaners.   For an LCD display you can find an anti-static spray at Office Depot and some Walmarts, use with a lint free cloth.  For CRT displays (old monitors) its ok to use Windex or glass cleaners.  I would recommend a glass cleaner over Windex because I've found Windex can leave a silicone type residue on a surface.   Also never spray directly on a screen, its better to spray the cloth so as to not allow over spray mist into the vents of the monitor.

If you are responsible about it, none.\n\nSight effects may include: eye damage, leg pains, arm craps, sprained clicking finger, atrophe of every muscle in the body, refusal to leave the computer to urinate or defecate, retinal bleeding, nausea, indigestion, upset stomach, malnutrition, lowering of school grades, loss of job, and excommunication.\n\nComputers are not for everyone. Consult your doctor before use.\n\nPhAtM4N for more questions

TFTs work the same as regular LCDs except that they have more transistors, one for each color of a pixel.  This means better contrast, faster response, and no ghosting.

Obviously the LCD has the CRT whipped in relation to the radiation, but...\nA good CRT may still be easier on the eye than a bad (or incorrectly set up LCD.\nIf an LCD has both analogue and digital inputs (in my experience) the digital input will produce a crisper image.\nUsing an LCD at anything other than its natural (max) resolution will cause the image to appear blurred.  The SDM-HS75P should be used at 1280x1024.\nThe refresh rate - on a CRT go for the max possible, on my LCD I haven't found that it makes a visible difference..\nAny tools or help on the drivers CD, or Sony's website?\nGood luck!

The monitor or display of a computer is the primary user interface. Monitor problems are some of  the most common computer problems since the voltages inside a monitor can be as high as 10 KV. Many of the problems can be fixed yourself by simply changing the settings. Detailed instructions available at   http://fixit.in/monitor.html Try this site if you can get what is required by you.

No, they are easier on your eyes compared to same-sized CRTs. LCDs tend to be bright so adjust the brightness to a point where you are comfortable. Usually, however, a bigger and good CRT is more comfortable than a small LCD, but it mainly depends on personal preference.

It won't hurt the LCD monitor.  What situation would require this setup?

With displays being reasonably priced, why not just invest in a better display?

Typically, brightness is not a concern with CRT monitors. LCD monitors are backlit and have different levels of brightness. The brightness rating for an LCD monitor is commonly referred to as 'nits', and commonly range from 70 to 250 nits. The higher the nits, the brighter the display.

the anti glare screen uses depolarizing technology to diffuse the light reflected off your screen and reduce the glare, HOWEVER it does reflect SOME light on it's own...little background...\n\nyour standard monitor (flat screen or standard) is composed of Glass and Gasses the Glass reflects light, similar to how a window or mirror does. where as a LCD screen (Liquid Christal Display) has a non reflective plastic cover over it that doesn't reflect light at all, hope I helped :D

In the past the savings was significant with CRT monitors; not only does one save on the electricity, but one also prolongs the life of the tube and circuits inside the monitor.\n\nLCD screens use far less power than CRTs, and so you'll get great savings if you retire your CRT and replace it with a LCD.  So do this if you haven't already.\n\nSwitching off an LCD will save a little, but not significant amount, since they are already so efficient to begin with.  Switching off also protects against unexpected power surges that may damage your monitor.\n\nHaving said that, I still switch off my LCD and computer if I don't expect to use it for the next 2 hours or so, and I always switch off every night before going to bed.
