Does anyone else have problems viewing LCD monitors? I tried one out and within a few minutes I experience headaches, strained eyes, even a touch of nausea. I've read reports that it's called LCD syndrome and is caused by the fluorescent lights used in the screens and by the fact that the pixels are so sharp and clear that some people's eyes see the pixels and not the letter or word. I found words very difficult to focus on and went buggy-eyed. Also, scrolling was very disconcerting as everything went blurry.
I also found the LCD screen didn't give great colour and it was hard to find a suitable viewing angle. It did however give better detail and exposure on photos - which could just be that my five-year-old CRT is dying.
I'm wondering if I would have this same problem with LCD TVS. Recently, I rode Mission: Space at Disney World, a simulator ride that uses LCD. I could really see the pixels and thought the nausea I felt may be from the motion but after experiencing with the same effects with my computer screen (while sitting motionless!) I'm rethinking that. It looks like it's CRT for me.
