At work, I regular 14" 1024x768 monitor has been replaced with a
21".  This allows me to run 1024x768 resolution and have four
tiled windows fully visible on my screen simultaneously.  This is
great, but I am wondering about the level of radiation I might be
subjecting myself to.

The monitor is an inexpensive Darius, which is supposed to run
non-interlaced (if you can afford a video card to do this).  Does
anyone know what the effect of sitting an arm's length away from
one of these all day long has on the human body, or where I might
get this information.

I makes me nervous when people walking by my office make comments
like, "I'd be wearing sunglasses and sun screen if I were you"!
