eye strain, eye strain, eye strain. i'm limiting my computer time now, because eye strain is a very serious problem for me.
as long as i have my e-ink reader, i'm happy for this tablet affair.
however, i hope e-ink grows to maybe replace lcd or crt monitors someday. eye strain sucks!

Then stop buying the cheapest LCD on the shelf when you buy a computer. Not trying to be mean there but people complain about eye strain are almost always using the worst LCD display that the manufacturer could get away with including or installing in the system you buy.
Two things you use more than anything else and those are the keyboard and the display (and yes I know there are mice and those matter also). Both are extremely important to healthy computing but people always cheap out when selecting or evaluating their computer.
Research what the best displays are, spend a good $300-$400 or so on the best you can find in the size you need, calibrate it or have it calibrated, learn how to adjust the brightness off of something other and maximum and I am willing to bet your eye strain will magically disappear.
There really is a difference between LCD's built for users who will be on them 8-14hrs/day every day and the crappy displays included as standard with 99% of the off-the-shelf systems out there. It's a shame but when most people shop for the best
deal they can easily overlook a good display.
