Unhappy LCD Monitors don't affect Eyes ?


My vendor told me that LCD monitors causes no problem with eyes and even 3 or 4 hours of movie, eyes remain comfortable? Some friends also told that.

and i am really confused because i want to buy an LCD monitor. Can you tell me Truth??

AFAIK, the statement is true...Because CRT(Cathode Ray Tube) monitors emits harmful radiations which can surely harm your eyes but in LCD monitors there is no such emission...That's why it is better to opt for LCD than CRT monitors...

truth: the CRT monitor really causes fatigue...
whereas LCD's are easy on the eye...
i usually sit around 7-10 hours daily ..and when i work on my friends lcd
i feel some easyness on eyes..
for crt u can opt for a antiglare screen ...which will
relieve u a little..like me.

Both theoretically (radiation/flickering) and practically (out of experience), I feel LCDs are better for the eyes. Especially those with lower response times.

well I have LG 17 inches studioworks monitor. I m using it for the last 2 and a half years without any anti glare screen. I use computer for 6 hours daily on an average. My eyes feel the pain sometimes . The default settings of monitor is brightness 50 and contrast 100 , will reducing these values (to say brightness 25 and contrast 75) help ??? I have been told that my model has inbuilt anti glare screen , so it dont need any additional one , is it true ???

Its best to use glasses while using computers for excessive periods. I use to have many eye problems. They use to swell every now and then. Any1 having problems shud use glasses with UV protection and antiglare. Nice glasses will cost u 1000 rs but its worth it. U can even use tears plus eye drops for some time.

I works on a Samsung 15" or 17" CRT monitor & also my friend has a computer shop so have some idea about hardware truth. Believe me, built in antiglare feature is fake, that's why I use an antiglare screen. Well I don't u will agree with me or not but I put my monitor at 40 Contrast & 0 Brightness when I work on it (daily 8-10 hrs). When I watch movies, I adjust the settings as required for the movie quality & watch from a distance of 7-8 feet minimum. I use a wireless earphone so that I can watch at my required volume & others don't get disturb.

Zero numbered specs don't help.. antiglare screen filters the radiations coming from CRT, and blocks most of it. But still LCD is a better option.
