    Question Monitor that won't make me blind

    Here is:
    1. My story
    2. My question

    1. My story:
    I used some good CRT monitors in the last 15 years, never been a fan of LCD (even in work I got LCD and switched it to CRT).

    The only LCD i used were on my laptop which got stolen.

    ANYWAY, after my laptop gone, and my CRT got ****ed I've bought a new PC (Q6600, 4GB Corsair DDR II, Abit QuadGT MB, Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme CPU cooler...etc)

    But didn't got a monitor, so in the meanwhile I used Samsung CRT's:
    SyncMaster 955DF and SyncMaster 1100P monitors -
    which ALMOST MADE ME BLIND (!!) after few hours of use for a few days
    (and I am working with computers for 18 years, and never had eye problems, don't even got glasses).



    2. My question:
    My needs for a Monitor are:
    A. Casual PC working (Reading, Writing, Firefox....) - 80% (around 8-10 hours a day, that's my job)
    B. Photoshop / Other Image editing software - 15%
    C. Video & Video edit - 5%

    For the last day or two, I have checked around 1000 reviews for LCD screens - and It looks from those old reviews on the net that NEC 20WGX2 will be the best choice for me (also caught my eye: Viewsonic VX2025wm) - but both kind of OLD choice.

    Here in my country they both cost over 750$ at the moment.

    other models:
    Dell 2007WFP - cost 510$
    Samsung SyncMaster 226BW - cost 410$

    VX2255wmb - looks like a good choice, but is not on sale.

    What should I do? to get a old model monitor like 20WGX2 for such high price worth it?
    I need a monitor before I'll get blind from those Samsung's.
