Hi..Just thought i shud ask this in a new topic i need a monitor soon ..) I am thinking about buying the samsung syncmaster 713n model.

1. I have read that the eyestrain issue is something personal. Some people say they cannot take lcd well if they spend too much time with it as compared to (believe it or not) crt at 85Hz. Some people do not take the flourescent backlight well i guess. I cannot spend too much time on an lcd b4 i buy, but from what i have seen i cannot say what effect i would have. (Anybody on this monitor can confirm it..?)

2. When i am not working on anything graphics related on my crt i turn my brightness level to something just above the minimum level so that glare is minimum. i also use a anti glare glass. Don't know how much minimum level i can get with the samsung 713n. any ideas?

3. I have found that the native resolution 1280x1024 is a 5:4 ratio. But won't that be a problem with all content that u normally expect to view at 4:3 such as wallpapers and stuff? Can anyone using this confirm..?

Thanx.
