LCD computer monitors and eye strain?

Q. have used CRT monitors on my pc's 4ever, I just bought an LCD 22" widescreen 5 days ago, heres the link http://www.abt.com/product/34518.html

I like the monitor, it has awsome color and clarity, my problem is, My eyes seem to be straining bad, almost feels like "burning" after 2 or so hours, my eyes get real tired, I dont recall having this on my crt, I have played with the settings like crazy, and it seems even with bright and contrast turned down, I still have it, The screen is matte, (not glossy) shoul i try to find a glossy one? heres a link to another model, its almost the EXACT same as what I got only it has a glossy screen http://www.abt.com/product/34510.html

Should I switch it to the glossy one? or will that have bad glare?

A. Turn up the refresh rate up to 70Hz if possible, 60Hz is the Default setting and alot people will get eye strain I get it on CRT monitors.


Monitor refresh rate.?
Q. I just got a new laptop Dell Latitude E6400 and a new Dell monitor E2209W and the problem Im having is that the monitor set-up is hurting my eyes.
I installed the driver from the cd (came with the monitor) and tried changing to different settings and one of the things I see is that for the refresh rate it only goes up to 60 hertz.

I've now disconnected the monitor and Im using the laptop screen.

Any ideas ?

thanks again.

A. 60hz (or 59, which is usually the default) is fast enough for an lcd monitor. [A clarification on the other post: LCD monitors do have a refresh rate, it just isn't as important (and doesn't need to be as fast) as CRT monitors because LCDs only change the pixels that have changed, where CRT monitors redraw the entire image every refresh cycle.] Make sure you are using it at it's native resolution (if the laptop screen and the external monitor show the same screen, the external monitor is reduced to the resolution of the laptop's screen, which won't look good). If you want to use both screens, you can set them up to display two different images (Fn F7 until they're both on, then right click, personalize, display settings, etc).
If you are just using the external monitor, it should default to the native resolution (the highest you can set it to), but check under display settings to make sure.
If it's running at it's native resolution and 60hz, it should look fine.
Make sure you run the auto adjust (press the menu button on the monitor, scroll over to auto-adjust, and select it). Also make sure the vga cable is firmly attached and doesn't run close to the power cord (If your using dvi or hdmi, you shouldn't have to worry about it).
