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.
