Does using a larger computer monitor help prevent eye strain, or not really?
little asked:
I use my computer mostly for Internet and Word, and I do a lot of reading on the computer. I have a standard 17 inch monitor that is dying and I’m trying to figure out what size to replace it with.

You can reduce eyestrain by taking LCD or TFT monitors. The size doesn’t matter as if your eyes start paining while reading text try increasing the size of the text for omforatble reading. Mridul

It’ll be the text size that matters more than the screen size. So in your case you’ll actually want to consider a screen with a lower, not higher, resolution.

LCD’s generally cause less eye strain than a CRT monitor with a low refresh rate ( amp9C1 v2.0
