Thanks Marc~It is an LCD one, so I'll keep that in mind. Interesting that
you say you like it better low, but say other people recommend to keep it at
a high one. I'll have to play around with it and see which one I feel
better at. Already, a lot of my computer symptoms are not affecting me at all
with this new one. Now it is farther back than the other one; because it is
a flat one I can push it all the way back, but it's also bigger so that
might equal out. I bought a new desk at the same time and am able to keep the
processor in a cabinet, not right next to my face, so maybe that is helping
too, but I thought it was just the screens that caused people symptoms.

Is this a CRT (tube) monitor? For myself, I like to keep the refresh
as low as possible, as long as the image doesn't flicker (which is
annoying). For a CRT, I would usually put it at 72-75 hz, and for
an LCD, you can even go as low as 60 hz.

I know that some people suggest to make the frequency higher, but
higher frequencies always made my symptoms worse.
