I find that displays with a solid-formed character (can't see the
bars and dots that make up the image) are MUCH LESS tiresome on the
eyes than the standard screens (for example IBM-PC monocrome screen).
Also, the darker and the less reflecting the display is - the easier
it is to see the text. In fact, a mediocre(sp?) terminal with a
"Glare Guard" (there are many different ones on the market) is MUCH
better on the eyes.

The best displays I've worked with were the AT&T 6300 PC with a B&W
screen and a glare guard, and an NBI multi-window workstation (U! or
tws) that had a B&W non-glare screen with black-on-light-gray
windows.
