I do feel that the LCD is far better for the rosacean than
the old CRTs. I recently got a gadget that measures radiation
coming from electronic products. My old CRT monitor had a lot
of high intensity radiation, especially on the right side
of the monitor (probably a standard place for certain components).
One had to get back from it farther than I could comfortably
read the screen to get out of the orbit.

Microwave also has a lot of radiation. I had to get about 6 feet
away from it to get out of the orbit when it was cooking, which
was at the edge of my kitchen.
The right side of the MW was putting out
a small amount close to the unit even when the MW was not cooking
(the clock was working, and the timer could be used).

I took my test gadget and went to Fry's Electronics to test
flat panel monitors, tested about 30 of them, and
they ALL tested Very Low radiation, and then only at about an inch
away from the screen. The next day, Dell was having a sale, so
I got a 19" flat panel.

I feel there about 1-2 dozen factors that may all contribute
to rosacea, and electronic radiation is one of them. People are
often looking for one or two causes, or want a product or
drug fix, or are thinking mostly topical/surface,
but my sense is that we need to look for root causes,
think very deeply and pervasively, think systemically,
think integratively, and address something like 24 factors
*concurrently*. I'll have more on my own research soon.

My article archive in Files, blog, Links, pics,
non-commercial, not a discussion group. In my Links,
there is a folder called Illnesses->Rosacea and EM,
this is just the start on a resource folder.
EM is erythromelalgia or red feet, which I suspect is much like
rosacea at its root, just expresses itself on the other end
of the body, and many EMrs have rosacea as well.
My approach is Integrative.
