Radiation & Eye strain from Plasma and LCD TV's
While watching television, the lighting in the room should be dimmer than the screen. Make sure that the lighting doesn't reflect on the screen or cause a glare. Don't watch in very dim light because the contrast in light is almost as bad as glare. Avoid viewing from an angle which causes an unclear or glare effect. Sit in front of the plasma screen about four or five times the width of the TV screen away. This is just a rough guide.

I have some problems with my eyes after I am watching my Sony TV. My eyes itch and burn. I have talked with my doctor who says it is not allergies. I am wondering if anyone else has complained about this problem? Please advise. Thanks.
I have the same problem. Also with my laptop and LCD desktop monitors. I believe this is due to high levels of UV-B radiation emmitted by the fluorescent backlight used in LCDs. I've had some success with an ebay UV filer on my laptop using several layers. There is some evidence thst this is a type of "ocular herpes" that is poorly understood by the medical world. UV-B stimulates virus producton in the eye and can lead to serious problems.
