question about CRT vs. LCD on vision

[Omegachi]

assuming they both have the same resolution, which one is better for the eyes?

depends on the person. CRT's do not have persistance which is generally better for your eyes. That being said, I know someone who gets a major headache/eye ache looking at a CRT running at 60 HZ refresh, but he has no problems with LCD's. I also know some people who cant stand to look at an LCD.

Having used LCD's for the past few years I can really see the flicker on a CRT unless the refresh rate is turned up

I had a really nice 19" CRT with high refresh rates and would get headaches after a few hours of use. Since I got a 2005fpw, I get no headaches from the monitor

LCD for me are definitely easier on the eyes.

how bout for your vision? (i.e. more likely to cause nearsightedness)
