It might be your monitor? Does it use LED's for the backlights? When you have an LED monitor at less than 100% brightness, it dims the LED's via a high frequency flickering (only way to do it). Some people are sensitive to that.
Even with flourescent-bulb backlights, they can get flickery. I have one that does and it drives me insane to read it for more than a few minutes.
If you can get your hands on one (maybe borrow someone's laptop for an hour or something), try using a new, matte (non-glossy) screen at 100% brightness, in a brightly lit area. See if that's better.
IMO, the liquid crystals are fine. The only issues with the crystals are viewing angle related. That's generally not a problem when you're sitting in front of them at a desk. It's the backlights that get ya, and the quality (and qualities) of backlights can be highly variable.
Oh, and glare, of course.. Darn those new glossy screens. What is the world thinking?
