anyone know if 'glossy-screen' (Opticlear) LCD monitors strain the eyes?

im looking to purchase a new monitor and am in the market for one that features ‘Opticlear’ technology. This feature basically brightens and sharpens the overall display and can be identified by its glossy screen as opposed to the standard matte surface of traditional LCD’s. i normally don’t associate health precautions with computer equipment but im concerned whether or not the brighter display of these monitors can potentially cause stress to the eyes after extended periods of use. i currently have a CRT monitor that i had to adjust the brightness on since it begins to strain on my eyes after awhile.

i don’t believe my eyes to be extra sensitive to screen glare but perhaps they are. either way i am wondering if anyone can give their two cents about this, particularly those who have this style monitor. for the record the one i am interested in is the NEC Multisync 70GX2 (or possibly the 90GX2).

I am in the sun right now with a mac laptop, how can I see the screen better?

I mean, people I am sure love to be on the beach and do work on their computer, but how do they do it with all the glare?

What's the best way to protect an LCD screen?

Do TV makers offer glare free protective covers for the TV, like a pane of clear plastic? I’ve never seen one.
I mean from damage. LCDs are soft. What if my kid throws a water bottle at it or something. I want something to keep damage away from the actual LCD screen.

Is it safe to clean my LCD monitor screen with lens cleaner?

My computer monitor is starting to look rather grungy. I have had it since May, but since I have been afraid of cleaning it, I haven’t. I have heard that vinegar and distilled water is a good solution, but I tried it, and it didn’t work very well. I have some no-glare lens cleaner from Wal-Mart. It says on the label that it is a non-alcohol formula.

During my moving process to school the wind ripped off the front plastic screen of my TV. I have an RCA 52" HDTV rear projection TV. The TV still works and the picture does appear on the screen. but the colors are off and their is a bad glare on the TV now. I wondering, what that dark plastic front screen is, can it be fixed and for how much?
