for 1, I use LCD in work for 8-12 hours a day, and when I go back home I still use it for another 2-3 hrs or so. And I find it fine, But as soon as I started READING on it (re meaning: fire up a pdf or txt file and start reading-only mode) My sight was blurry and unable to focus properly after 2 hrs. And it is not a environment problem, since I have always take care in setting up brightness, contrast and others to match the environment I'm in.
On what device were you reading? A monitor or a dedicated device, 7" or smaller? I couldn't read from a monitor for any time longer than 5 minutes (book reading that is). I even find longer posts on forums a pain to read (and will often skip them). But I read without any problems on my 7" LCD JE-100.
