Just think about for a normal programmer who has to sit in front of a CRT monitor which will generate radio activity for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. It is not simply sore eyes issue. I got my Philips LCD 17 inch monitor at home 9 months ago and at work 4 months ago. Now I feel that I do not need to expose to these sorts of radio activity any more. I don't know how these radio activity will effect human beings. I believe less is better than more. Actually I sit in front of monitor for more than 12 hours a day, so I must look after myself and the company.(If I take sick leave, that will cost more to the company than a monitor price in some sense).
 
At the time I bought my monitor, a brand new LCD 17 inch monitor cost $2000+gst. Company bought same brand for $1200+GST. And now I see same brand 17inch LCD monitor cost $809+GST. Compare to Delphi professional/enterprise edition price, it would be quite reasonable to get a LCD monitor for your health. 15 inch LCD monitor is quite small anyway. Just consider as an investment to your health.
 
Cheers
Leigh

My screen has flickered at the corners quite badly for quite some time. I tried swapping to another screen on an empty desk, and it was worse! But problem solved today. My screen's refresh rate was set far too low (60 Hertz). I've increased it to 85 Hertz (my monitor can handle it) and now I have a perfectly still screen. Awesome!

 

So if you have a flickering / shaky screen, and haven't checked your refresh rate, it might help. Guess everyone knows this but me!
