Usually I take a lot of breaks. But since I went primarily to flat screens about 6 or 8 months ago I've noticed that eyestrain isn't as bad as it had been. The only monitor I use now other than flat screens is an old RasterOps 20 inch, and no longer use that as actively as in past years. These flat panels are all Dell, except for one. I believe they are manufactured by Philips. Yep, says Philips on them.

By the way I wondered at the time if there was a link to the older monitors but I have no proof. However, I had eye surgery one year ago. My eyes were fine for awhile but rapidly dropped off to the point where I wear glasses for certain things again. The eye surgery was laser surgery to correct vision to 20/20. For all I know, it had nothing to do with the monitors but at the time I was very suspicious. Forgot to mention that previously. I do have to return to the Opthamologist soon to see what he is able to do, now that it appears the degradation has halted.
