Buying a New LCD monitor/eyes?

Q. I work about 16 hours a day 6 to 7 days a week on the computer. I am going to buy a new 19" LCD monitor (ditching the 17" crt) What should I consider since I am on the computer so much? I am 40+ and don't really want to destroy my eyes or walk around with bags under my eyes all the time due to eyestrain? Well, I look forward to your input. :)
What would be considered an optimal refresh rate?

A. GO for a LCD, crt are of the past.

LED or LCD monitor - which is better for the eyes?

Q. Hi,

So recently I have been experiencing eye-strain but I have to use my computer (I'm a freelance front-end web developer). I currently have a monitor that is a few years old. It's a Dell 20" Flat Panel Display LCD monitor (Model no: SP2008wfP). I'm wondering if an upgrade would improve it even slightly? If so which monitor should I get;

- Samsung S22b150n 21.5" LED Monitor

or

- Samsung S24b150b 24" LED Monitor

A. Personally when choosing monitors I would go with a LED over a LCD just by preference.

Going in deeper though any monitor is no better than any other when it comes to eye damage, as none actually cause eye damage. Unless your using a Radioactive screen (which in that case you've got other problems) your fine.

What you really want to focus on is the power, and managing the nature of the lighting efficiency.

Hope this helped.
