CRTs emit a tiny bit of X-ray radiation, but nothing anywhere near any sort of harmful dose (I saw someone else say "the x-rays damage your eyes"). Totally unscientific and ridiculous. Every electronic device has *some* electromagnetic emissions.
CRTs have been 60hz + for like decades. It tended to be the bottom-end standard. You'd have to look high and low for a non-60HZ supporting CRT. Maybe on a Commodore 64?
I think it's pretty clear that backlit LCDs are harder on the eyes (especially in a dark room). But some people don't have any issues with them. I know CRTs could be hard on some people's eyes (higher refresh rates help). Personally I find LCDs harder on the eyes than a high-refresh-rate CRT (I use a 22.5" widescreen CRT @ 85hz) , but I don't expect everyone has the same reaction.
