But, if you're working with CRT, you'll be more concious of backlight. If I were to sit in my room with all my lights off, my eyes will water in no-time. But I have a small light, that faces the wall behind my monitor and that makes all the difference in the world: the difference in light between the monitor and the surrounding areas is much lower.

No one remembers that when High speed electrons strike the Phosphors of a CRT to make them Fluoresce, They also emit X-Rays that a only
mostly blocked by the thick, leaded faceplate glass. The larger the CRT, the higher the voltages needed on the Anode. The more X-Ray.
And YOU are square, pop, in front at a short distance. (and the thicker the heavy, leaded glass)
LCD does not involve high voltage induced fluorescence. (Neither does E-Ink)
