You know, I have the same problem. I don't know what it is about LCD monitors, but
they do tend to induce headaches. CRT's never seem to bother me. I can stay up many
hours into the night staring into a VT100 in a dark room with no problems - but an hour of
using a laptop and I have a headache.
Glad that it isn't just me.

Any particualr
reason you prefer CRT monuitors? OK, I
prefer them, but only (a) becasue they were
the original
displays for many of my classic computers nad (b) because
they're easier to fix than the LCD type.
They're just easier on my eyes, I find. LCDs give me a
headache after quite a short while, but I can look at a
(well-adjusted) CRT for much longer before it bothers me.
I'm not sure why - something to do with pixel aliasing,
perhaps.
