Do you use monitor eye-display protectors?

On a CRT monitor, if you're running it at 60Hz, you're straining your eyes.
LCD's are usually set to 60Hz since they don't actually refresh anyway, though I've found cheap LCDs connected via analog sometimes look better at 75. YMMV
Refresh rate is the rate at which the monitor redraws the onscreen image.

I have been using my CRT for years at 60 refresh rate, and it seems that is the default refresh rate for my CRT, everytime i turn it up to 75 it's lags while watching dvd movies. Yeah i can't stand this POS CRT, i will definitely upgarde to LCD very soon. what you mean ..LCD's are usually set to 60Hz since they don't actually refresh anyway?
wow! you have the 2405 FPW dell, i'm thinking of getting the 2005 FPW, but i've heard alot of bad things about that monitor about back leaks, dead pixels..
You shouldn't need it on an LCD, in fact you shouldn't need it on a CRT if you set a good refresh rate and adjust brightness and contrast to your liking.
On an LCD panel, all the pixels are always on, all the time (except when the computer or monitor is off, or you've got it set such that a portion is not in use, e.g. black bars across top and bottom while watching widescreen DVDs).
Your CRT lags while watching DVDs at 75Hz? Do you have your manufacturer's monitor drivers installed? Try downloading and installing them.
As for the quality control of Dell monitors, it seems to be okay now, what I generally read or hear lately is that what everyone's getting is in great shape. I only got mine about two weeks ago but I can't find anything to complain about

Are you sure you dont need them on CRT's if you adjust the right refresh rate , brightness and contrast? If adjustable refresh rate on crt's could provide you from eye strains, then these eye protector wouldn't be selling in the market.
Do you ever get eyestrains, tired, from your 24 inch dell monitor after staring at it for a long period of time since your monitor is so big?

more like a big sweaty greasy english coalminer with a pickaxe swinging away at the back of your eyes while lars ulrich whines about money and bangs away at his drums behind him.
People who buy those things don't know how to adjust their refresh rate. I see it in my office all the time. Once I crank them up to 75-85Hz and show them how to use the monitor buttons for brightness and contrast, they suddenly don't need them anymore.
I sit over two feet away from my Dell, and never feel fatigue in my eyes due to its size.
Yes, i have just installed the latest drivers and it still lags while watching DVD's, This may do to the fact that i dont have an video card install on my system, i'm currently using onboard video.
If my monitor is native at 60 refresh rate, then howcome i can choose the refresh rate from 60,70,75, and 85 in the monitor settings?
CRTs are always 85+Hz when I use them.
I've replaced every monitor in my house with LCDs though.

I think they're usually referred to as glare screens. Besides reducing the amount of light coming from the monitor it reduces the glare reflecting off the monitor screen from the interior lights.
This lady at work has the brightness and contrast turned almost all the way down and uses that glare screen. When I have to work on her PC, I have to squint my eyes half a foot away just to see anything.

Are you talking about video drivers or monitor drivers? I'm talking about monitor drivers.
The "native 60Hz" refresh rate for CRTs is to make them backward compatible to any VGA chip out there. The ideal rate (IMO) is 85Hz, while 75 will do in a pinch. But you have to go with what your monitor will let you do too.
What kind of onboard video do you have? Intel? SiS? Via/S3? nVidia? Matrox? ATi?
