Flat panels are easy on tired eyes.

The Bottom Line Test a monitor at the end of your day, if possible. If you find yourself straining, with running or blurry eyes, a flat panel may do the trick for you.
While it is true that often flat panel monitors do not show colors as true as some calibrated CRTs, there are LCDs you can calibrate and CRTs that you can't calibrate. This does not mean you can't do graphics work, but you probably do not want to do color matching for print work using this monitor. Then again, you probably won't do color matching for print work with many of the monitors (both LCD and CRT) on the market.
I use a flat panel for a very specific reason: I have poor eyesight and spending time in front of a CRT hurts my eyes. Even very fine CRT displays with excellent frequencies can bother me. Flat panel displays in general display fine lines with more accuracy and less blur while anti-aliasing fonts and lines. For this reason flat panels are popular with architects, furniture designers, and anyone else using CAD-type applications.
This also makes a flat panel a good choice for someone looking at a lot of text. For me, looking at pages of code all day leaves me with eyes so strained that I can't focus even 6 inches away from my face.
