I've got a EIZO FlexScan F980 and am looking for something easier on the
eyes. All I do is text based work... 10-12hrs a day on my Sun box and my
eyes have been taking a real beating. Thinking of going to an LCD. I
bought a 19" Samsung for my PC but haven 't used it much. Have to buy a
DVI card for my Unix box to try it out there. Meanwhile I recently saw a
21" Viewsonic CRT and the text looked real sharp. Have you or anyone
else worked with both LCD and CRT's and have a recommendation or
feedback as to what's best. I'll pay top dollar (within reason) for a
solution if it's good.

Thanks
