I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've sat in front of a CRT 14 inch monitor for about a decade with glasses, and almost no change in my vision. In some cases, an LCD is brighter and can cause MORE eye string than a CRT.

Does this mean LCDs are not generally less stressful for eyes than CRTs?

My experience is that it is the contrast between the LCD and the ambient light level in the room that causes eye-strain. I have an LCD at home set to minimum brightness, and I still had to reduce the gamma at the graphics card level to get it dim enough for me. The one I use at work is fine. I had a CRT that was so dim I could barely see, and another that worked fine.

If your eyes start to hurt using a monitor, it isn't working for you. Otherwise, no worries.

Well my LCD is so clear. The colors are beautiful.

When i look here on my CRT... Meh, blurry, discolored... LCD is so much easier on my eyes.

I am glad to say that I finally received my ordered LCD monitor. 19 inch, widescreen with 1440x900 resolution and 60Hz refresh

I think what Winged said is true, too bright settings cause eye strain. But the display quality is veeeery much better than my old 13 inch CRT.
