Esteban, I switched to a LCD about a year ago and love it. It's much easier on your eyes, it definitely made a difference for me.. A 17" LCD has almost as much viewable area as a 19" CRT. I recommend flat panel monitors for anyone who spends more than 4 hours a day using a PC. Besides being easier on the eyes they take up much less space, give off about 99% less radiation and use much less electricity which might not seem like a big deal but if you're using a UPS backup power supply it'll last at least 3X longer in a blackout than CRT monitor.

I have an LCD screen on my laptop. Besides adding to portability, it's a delight to stare at all day. Wish I had one years ago. I'm seriously considering one of those flat, hang on the wall TVs, but every time I see them advertised, they've come down a thousand dollars. Procrastination pays! Cheers, PW. P.S. Have you set the frequency on your monitor to the max? This reduces eye-strain. I also prefer the brightness level turned down. When turning down brightness, be sure you adjust your monitor and not your spouse. P.P.S. Select colour schemes that are easy on the eyes. In Display Properties, Appearance tab, pick something soothing. I use Rainy Day.
