It's not really noticeable with light reading, but I do a fair bit of heavy, technical reading, and I can tell the difference there. I should say that I don't notice much eye strain when reading from CRT and LCD displays for long periods.

Has anyone here noticed anything similar?
Yep. When I was studying a course that was purely on-line I had this problem. I acquired a book later, that was not the same material but close enough and I have noticed the difference.
