An issue that most people aren't aware of, but in many cases LCD's can be very hard on the eyes. LCD's use flourescent lights for their backlights. This means that even though the screen doesn't refresh, the lighting behind the screen is refreshing at 100+Hz. If you are someone who is bothered by flourscent lights, then an LCD might bug you.
I've found that I've only been able to use laptops that use very very high quality screens and controlled backlighting without getting headaces and such.
If anyone is interested google the term 'LCD Display Discomfort' and you'll see stuff about it. |
