What type of monitor should I buy for reduced eye strain and fatigue?

EIZO monitors are designed to minimize eye strain by providing surface treatment, and circuit board based image-processing systems. However, the degree of ease on a user's eyes varies by monitor. Please make the following considerations when selecting a monitor. - LCD monitors have a more flat display, less color shift and less distortion than CRT monitors and are thereby easier on the eyes. - Gray bezels are easier on the eyes than black bezels. - Wider viewing angle also cause less eye strain. - Adjusting brightness and color temperature helps alleviate eye strain. Generally, lower brightness and color temperature settings are, the easier monitor viewing will be on the eyes.
