display questions

[no_wei]

my earlier post bashing hd in general notwithstanding, i have a couple questions regarding displays...

1. does anyone know what type of display is easiest on the eyes. i'll take opinions derived either solely from personal experience or from some kind of scientific evidence. i know i've heard good things about lcd, plus i figure front-projection is a pretty good bet since the light is indirect. i have heard nothing about plasma... considering the sheer amount of time i spend in front of a screen everyday, i've decided that this factor will most likely be paramount in my future display-buying endeavours.

2. all that being said, what do people feel about using a CRT monitor as a stopgap hd solution? i ask this because it looks as though i'm probably in the market for a new computer monitor, and i can't help but notice that the majority of 19" CRT monitors still on the market are running 1920x1440 resolution. also, they're dirt cheap--i can potentially get a refurbished one for under 100 canadian dollars--so that's a motivating factor. in actual fact, this might be the worst of both worlds for me, it might be a poor hd solution (one which i don't actually need at the moment) and it might be terrible for my battered, bleary eyes. but i'm sure with the money i save from not buying a tv i can afford all kinds of eye drops and ointments and god knows what else.

thanks
