Ah, thanks for explaining that; now I know.
On the subject of desktops, I've been trying out f.lux over the past few days; has anyone else tried this?

Nope, but I don't let sunlight into my computer room, either. Speaking of which, I need to re-calibrate my monitors...
There's this massive ball of hydrogen fusing into helium out in the universe, that our earth rotates around.

f.lux is awesome; I've noticed that for the past few days now my eyestrain has diminished significantly during long stretches of time staring into my little black rectangles (now if only I could get f.lux on my TV...)

I haven't really noticed a particular decrease in eyestrain, but that's probably more because I spent 90% of my day at least in front of LCDs.
The eyestrain really comes when you're using a (Crts, mostly) monitor in the dark. if you have ambient light it's not nearly as bad.
I find that LCDs are far more eyestrain-inducing as they're typically much brighter than CRT monitors.

glare much?
As long as direct sun doesn't come in I'd imagine it would work well enough.
@Ultimate Isn't that what the brightness setting is for? You really don't need it at 100% like CRTs.
My desktop has my sister's posters on the wall behind the monitor. (We share a room.). When I look up, I see Zack Efron and Big Time Rush, and that band from disney channel etc. Needless to say, I don't look up very much!

So you're telling me that brighter LCDs are bad for my eyes? I would assume that brighter LCDs would mean my eyes wouldn't have to work as hard to make out what's on the screen, and thus my eyes would be happier.
But if they're brighter than the ambient light, your eyes have to constantly readjust, like staring into a flashlight. Your pupils dilate for dark surroundings, then contract. This causes eye strain.
That's my theory anyways
