So it might be time to think about looking at some different computer monitors and picking one that best suits your need.  How much time do you spend on the computer?  If you find yourself staring at computer monitors for a significant portion of your day, you might as well invest in the best.  LCD monitors are a fraction of the thickness of the standard box shaped CRTs, are brighter, and only consume a third of the power.  They also avoid the flickering ray trace technology CRTs use, making them easier on the eyes and preventing eye strain.

Whatever you get, remember that bigger is better.  Big things are easier for the human eye to focus on, so a larger monitor will help your eyes and prevent eye injuries.  A 21” CRT can be as cheap as $50; this is the single major advantage of CRT computer monitors.  LCD computer monitors of equivalent size can be as much as four times more expensive.  So take a look at your options; get online, go to the store.  Read user reviews on your top options and take your pick.  By knowing the market you’ll get the best deal for your money.
