What model monitors do you have, and what sort of color scheme?  I use
DEC's 16" Trinitron
and I love it. I have also used our old 15" VR160 and it had some
serious problems in my opinion
(NOT DEC's opinion mind you, just mine). The only problems I've had with
the VR29x-xx monitor
was due to the monitors being too close and the scan lines would appear
on each screen which
acted like a flicker...
