right click on your desktop and click properties.  Click the settings tab, then advanced button.  then click the monitor tab.  use the drop down arrow to select the highest refresh rate that your monitor will use.  if you select one that is too high your monitor will turn off for 15 seconds.\nhigher refresh rates are better for your eyes\n\nthere should be some buttons on the front of your monitor.  play with these buttons to change the size of your screen, so you have less borders on your monitor,\nthe basic proccess for this is go through a menu to get to a certain type of ajustment, say, making the screen bigger vertically, then either plus or minus it.   other settings are to rotate, make it not buldge on teh sides. and others\n\nif you want more space on your desktop, right click on the desktop and click properties. then click the settings tab, and slide the slider bar to the right. if your monitor does not support the setting it will turn off for 15 seconds or so

Usually your monitor should return to normal in a few days. If you monitor has a 'degauss' feature (either via button or when you turn your monitor off and on), it should help as well.

They don't technically damage your eyes or vision, but they do cause a lot of eye strain.  Excessive eye strain might lead to a change in prescription.  If you do a lot of gaming, it's good to take breaks every so often (at least every hour) to look far away and relax your eyes for a few minutes.

Besides the addiction of watching everything that's "on now" which sooner or later creates sedentarism, Tv-sets, especially those build on a cathodic tube transmit radio waves which are harmfull for our eyes. Scientist say that we should keep a minimum distance of 40-50 cm from the TV-set but even so it's dangerous (if we watch it almost non-stop). \nThe new technology, based on liquid crystal (or LCD) and pasma technology were build to remove those waves and thus reduce the damage to the eye.

consult the eye specialist and get a pair of spectacles and wear it just when you are working on the computer.

A high resolution with dimmed contrast settings. Flat panel monitors are not easier to read on then CRT's either as most people like to believe. I did a survey for people where I work about getting headaches and eye strain from reading on a monitor. You should also get a plastic shield to go over the front. Some people have told me constant staring at a monitor has made it difficult for them to read because books do not have bright back lighting behind the text.

I would try monitor setting first using the buttons on the front of your monitor. If that does not help try right clicking desktop click properties and then click the setting tab and try changing the setting and clicking apply.

Have you been on the computer for a long while?... I use to get MASSIVE headaches and I found out it was because I was looking at a computer screen for too long. Try looking away and focus on something across the room ever 15 minutes or so.

Get a new monitor. Sorry.

I'd go with any 19" Viewsonic with a response time of 12ms or less. These are withing your price range and the response time will make looking at the monitor easier on your eyes because it refreshes quicker.

Your monitor might have a light meter built in to it (there's one on my laptop that can be switched off). This dims the screen in low light conditions, and brightens it when there's a lot of ambient light (it's supposed to save energy and make it easier on your eyes).\n\nTry exploring the menu and look for something like "eco sensor" or "ambient light balance".

I think it is 22-25cm.\nU can view objects in a clear manner after this distance from your eye.

That's not true for anything anymore.  The monitors of today are made with different materials that create sharper picture.  You didn't sit close to the old one because the picture was so fussy, trying to focus on an entire screen caused strain on your eyes, leading to headaches and glasses.  Todays monitors create such crystal picture that your eyes can focus properly.  Plus if you sit to close to any monitor during rapid flashes it can cause epileptic seizures (especially in children)

If your eyes get strained when you work on your computer, make sure you're taking breaks every 20 minutes or so.  Look away from the screen (like out the window) for about a minute.  If the pain is a general pain (not necessarily associated with near work), consult your doctor.
