Quote - I have had migraine headaches on and off for a long time, and I blamed too much time on my PC and bad eyes. Two weeks ago I replaced my 22" CRT Trinatron monitor that was burning out with a nice clear and bright 24" LCD. All of a sudden my headaches are gone and my eyes no longer burn. I can't believe a slightly larger monitor could help that much, but is seems to have gotten rid of my headaches. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

 

A monitor can definately make or break a string of headached.  It mostly has to do with eye strain.
on a crt things like "dot pitch" and "refresh rate" were quite important. You wanted a low dot pitch and high refresh rate to minimize headaches. In my case, I looked for .23 dot pitch, and 85Hz or higher refresh rate. 

I find LCD's lot more friendly when it comes to headaches. They seem easier on the eyes. But with those I'm also finnicky about high quality. Otherwise, I'm likely to get a headache!

Also, if you don't have a pair already, talk to your optometrist about special glasses for the computer. They are usually really fine tuned for typica monitor to eye distance (1.5 to 2 feet), and their goal is to reduce eye strain (headaches, dry or burning eyes)

HTH :)
