Hi,
I need to buy a new monitor for my computer.
My needs are the following:-

-Linux OS (x86 processor)
-Mainly used for programming & viewing web pages; very rarely games
-Want to look after my eyes as much as possible
-Long periods of looking at screen (program code, etc) should not hurt 
my eyes

My budget is $A1000, and size restricts me to a 17" CRT screen. 
(obviously bigger for LCD, however lacking $$ for bigger LCD)

Is LCD better than CRT for my requirements?
Which brands should I look for?

Will I need a new video card? (currently have nvidia TNT)

are there any online reviews about these topics?

thanks in advance,
Rob
