Are computers monitors harmful to your health?  

This is 100 percent true , i believe it. And yeah it is very dangerous. The tips i can give are:
1. Stay on twenty centimeters from the monitor.
2. There are computer glasses , buy one pair and use them.
3. For every hour you stay on the computer , go away for minimum of fifteen minutes.
4. If your eyes are tired. Make some exercises for them. Read a book , stay out of your home , do something that is not done with some sort of technique .
5. And finally don't use your computer more then 2-3-4 hours.

You can go to the US Environmental Protection Agency to verify what you're saying (not referral link http://www.epa.gov/radtown/tv-computer.html) It's partly true if you're using a CRT tube, but if you're using flat screens you don't have the production of x-rays that can be dangerous. The problem with the other screens is that they emit light (in the blue range of the spectrum) and activate your brain to stay awake and consequently you become tired, this is a very different phenomenal compared to CRT screens (you can read an article about that in new york times - not referral link http://www.nytimes.com/20...) I would like to see your sources of information... Cheers.

The old CRT monitors emit different quantities of radiation and they are not bright enough for you to reduce the eye strain, but the newer LCD monitors does not emit radiation at all and they are brighter. But still watching at a particular place for a long time without changing the distance produces eye strain so whenever you work try getting eyes from display from time to time to feel okay.

yes they are if they are used in excess. monitors are if CRT they emits the xray , gamma rays and some other kind of rays which are very injurious to health. this is my experience that after long working hours on computers i feel huge dryness in my eyes.

i started playing computer games and video games since maybe around 6 year old. since i can remember, i have been spending a lot of time in front of computer monitorssince then and now i am 28.

daily, i spend over 5 to 8 hours with some short breaks that lasts around 5 mins. except lunch breaks. i do a lot of things with my laptop. that 5-8 hours is a significant decline since i got married. during uni years, i spend over 12 hours daily in from of a computer monitor

like i mentioned, i am 28 now and i don't wear glasses. i don't think i have over the normal amount of stress normal people have.. never had any problem that needed medical advice related to stress. i think i am pretty much normal, except for a little underdeveloped interpersonal skills.

a point maybe worth mentioning, my favourite beverage is carrot juice

Yes, maximum exposure can have its damaging effects. So try to limit exposure to radiation and radio waves. Do other things like reading. Take a bath. Talk to someone on the phone. And when you are refresh, then go back on the computer.

Depends how you use it. If you abuse sure will have some consequences but everything that is abused isn't so good.
I work with monitors in rooms with a bit or no light since 3 years ago, and I went to the doctor last year and he told me my eyes was ok.

Yeah, u are right PEMR is really bad for our health. Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Radiation even cause various diseases. But... we live in the 21 Century, the Century of New Technology!and due to scietists inventions we can prevent ourselves against all these harmful radiations.
I'd like to share with u a unique device invented by Russian scientists. This device is called Functional State Corrector. It's intended to protect against external aggressive electromagnetic radiations and...moreover...it solves other problems...

Whenever I use my main desktop computer which has a CRT monitor, my eyes do burn if I stare at the screen for too long. Cleaning the screen of dust is a big help as is looking away as frequently as possible.

At the same time, sometimes, your vision can change unexpectedly, so it's always important to see an eye doctor every two years. I remember this one time I had hopped onto my computer, and within ten minutes, my eyes were burning and watering. I went to my eye doctor, and sure enough my vision had changed. I got the corrective lenses and problem was solved.

These days I spend more time on my netbook, which is more relaxing on my eyes. I
still go on the desktop computer now and then, but my main reason is because it's quite slow these day. I'll have to find time outside of school work and job hunting to really sit down and clean it out.

When you think of a person using a computer for an extended period of time, you think of a person stuck in the same position day after day after day. Hour upon hour upon hour. In which case after doing so, this can eventually result in problems. Eye strain can result for a number of reasons, stairing at a fixed position for a long period of time can be one result. Not having suffecent light for the eye to focus on is another.

Weather the blame can be placed directly on the monitior I do not know, but like all devices should not be taken lightly. Do I think its dangerous? No. How you use it is dangerous. If you don't take steps to move around and protect yourself then you open yourself up to more problems.

A majority of the health problems resulting from computter use are stairing, and how you sit, and how you position yourself to type. How often you type or use the mouse. How close or how far you can sit from the screen etc.
