I'm glad monitors back then didn't have the contrast they do now. It literally hurts my eyes.

  CRTs has more contrast (AFAIK)

  CRTs were very bad for your eyes - literally. There are laws for “monitor operators” here in Europe that used to be very strict about breaks every hour or so, with mandatory eye-healthchecks every few months and subsidies for glasses. Without the switch to flatscreens, I expect I would have been almost blind by now - the improvement was massive and noticeable.

    I believe it, I used a CRT for the first time in years the other day and I couldn't believe how much I felt the eye fatigue. I don't want to know how much damage I did back in the day on those things.
