i mnust say LCDs are much easier on my eeyes. Another thing that woul.d really scare me is that if i spent too much time on the computer, say like 5 hours or so in the evening playing mutliplayer games, the skin on my cheeks would get warm to the touch, appear red, and feel dry. God i hope i wasnt cooking my skin with CRT radiation. Ever since i got my LCD, ive never felt this again, and never feel the eyestrain i used to. and keep in mind i haid a a fiarly goodmonitor at a lower resooltuoion than i have it now at a high refresh rate too, so i definately say go for the LCD, potentially ruining your eyesight is not worth saving $200 bucks or so now if it means bigger and more severe problems later.
