LCD monitors have less of a boundary between LCD pixels and the front of the screen, causing the eye to work less to focus. Settings can also be adjusted to combat contrast and glare issues, for example.
That's the least they could mention here... other aspects of display technologies also affect vision, but it's obviously just a summation.

Interesting. I see a wiki page developing where we might be able to collect data on this sort of thing as it impacts e-reading.
