Brian,
I have a page on CRT monitors at this url >

http://www.rosacea-diet.com/html/vdt.html

I have always thought that a CRT monitor is worse for rosacea than an LCD
monitor, but now that you have mentioned this I am not sure. It would
seem logical to me that the LCD would be better for rosacea than the CRT,
but obviously there needs to be some further research on this.

I have formed a non profit for rosacea research which you can join and
help us do this kind of novel research hopefully some day. Come join us .
