Indeed LCDs are a huge problem. Can't get within yards of
one without getting fried. Currently using a Samsung
with an LED backlight, and power board removed from the
LCD frame. Modified it myself.
Replacing the flourescent lights with LEDs didn't help much.
Whereas, remoting the power board did help a good deal. I still
can't use the computer for long periods though.
At work (when I was employed) I did find my CRT (Dell Trinitron)
more tolerable than new the NEC LCD. Should've stuck with the
CRT.
