- At work, I regular 14" 1024x768 monitor has been replaced with a
- 21". This allows me to run 1024x768 resolution and have four
- tiled windows fully visible on my screen simultaneously. This is
- great, but I am wondering about the level of radiation I might be
- subjecting myself to.
-
- The monitor is an inexpensive Darius, which is supposed to run
- non-interlaced (if you can afford a video card to do this). Does
- anyone know what the effect of sitting an arm's length away from
- one of these all day long has on the human body, or where I might
- get this information.
-
- I makes me nervous when people walking by my office make comments
- like, "I'd be wearing sunglasses and sun screen if I were you"!
