Old computer monitor such as Cathode Ray Tube (CTR) monitor is even worst. Most computer screen refresh rate is set to 60 MHz which is bad for the brain. The brain functions best at 72 and 90 megahertz. If your computer refresh rate is set lower than 72 megahertz, it can decrease brain functions because it interferes with normal brain-wave patterns. This is why you get headaches when you stare at a computer screen for too long. To avoid this, adjust your screen refresh rate and try to take a break from your computer every hour. To find the refresh rate of your computer monitor you need to open your control panel. It should be in the advanced setting under the display setting. Change the refresh rate to 70 or higher. Note: Not all computer screen refresh rate can be adjusted.

I was wondering what sort of light/other radiation a computer screen puts out as it is a well used piece of equipment in my home? And the effects it has on the body/mind. Good article.
