I'm 33 years old, so I assume no aging changes yet.
I have -4.50 on both eyes, so I wear glasses. Aging changes would shift that to +, actually inmproving my eyesight.
1. I can't watch anything on brightly lit monitor, or TV in a dark room. If I try, I get splitting headache in 10 minutes, latsing for hours. Reading from backlit PDA or iPhone screen at night, in darkness does the same thing, even if the PDA is set to minimum brightness, and with yellow letters on a black background.
2. I can't work with CRT monitors - if I try, I get the same splitting headache after 10 minutes, no matter what brightness/contrast settings are, or what external ligting is.
3. I can work with LCD monitors, in fact I do, 8 hours a day, and it's tolerable, but only if:
- There's a bright light source shining at monitor, all the time. Brighter than the monitor.
- The brightness/contrast of the monitor are set to minimum, sometimes even making things harder to read.
- I adjust the web pages/applications I work with to have as many dark colors as I can. I modify settings to switch background to dark in programs I work with. I change forum skins to be dark, with yellow letters, not light. I have my desktop wallpaper all black.
Otherwise I get a headache, and red eyes.
4. I can read from e-ink, in bright light, or semi-darkness, on minimum font possible on Gen3 for a whole day and I get no hint of any headache, and no problem with my eyes.
5. I had a Sony Palmtop. If I switched off the backlighting, and read in bright sunlight, in which that screen worked fine, I had no eyestrain at all, as well. With backlighting, even in my brightly-lit room, in the evening, I was getting headaches.

Well, that only tells me much about you...

I'm sorry if you don't like what I said, but after a couple years of seeing false information about LCD screen technology, some of us are actually sick of seeing it posted again and again. The FACT is that it is a matter of preference and the LCD eyestrain thing is a myth.

Do the results of such experiment as the one I just described matter anything to you? Well, they matter to me, more that any bullshit from talking heads with many titles does. It's my head and my headache after all.
