The point you raise does answer my question; but my experience is such that
I have not had problems with CRTs but with LCD which tend to be hard to read
with the introduction of lower amounts of glare or if they are not precisely
align with the user's eyes and view.  CRTs allow for much greater variance
in the precision of the point of view that the user must assume to see the
display easily and readably as well as the amount of glare that can be
introduced.

When people complain about CRTs fatiguing their eyes, they're usually
talking about flicker, and LCDs don't flicker. All you need to avoid this
with a CRT, though, is a video card and monitor that can support the desired
resolution at a reasonable scan rate. Different people detect flicker at
different frequencies (and the threshold for an individual is often quite
sharp), but I detect no flicker, even in my peripheral vision, at about
70Hz, so I run my monitor at 72Hz. There aren't many cards and monitors that
support 2048x1536 at that rate, though, but my Matrox does.
