I can look all day at my NEC notebook screen and not strain my eyes. Not so with my 17" Sony monitor. I put a UV screen on it and the tolerance improved but not as much as the notebook's screen.... So, I went along to HN to buy a LCD screen and discovered the Viewmaster 17" or 19" (not sure which) for $2500 was shocking to look at! Like you, when I find what I want I'll buy it but it sure as hell ain't a Viewmaster LCD.
