I am hardly an expert on this, and I am willing to listen, but from what I've read, LCDs have their issues.
Compared to CRTs, LCDs are certainly much easier on the eyes. But, while the image itself may not flicker, the fluorescent backlight does, and your eye may experience fatigue because of it.
Very hight brightness can also contribute to eye fatigue. O the other hand, some LCDs are stable at their maximum brightness, while modulation may be introduced at lowered brightness levels. Power-saving features can also introduce such modulation.
These may, or may not be issues for this particular screen, but for long-term reading, I personally would probably stay away from LCD, and particularly one designed for cost and power savings.
