My old CRT monitor met SWEDAC MPR-2, but there are other standards as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCO_Certification Paul

This is usually a case of frequency, bumping the frequency from 60Hz up to 75Hz-80Hz usually helped, monitor permitting, of course. You'll find the odd LCD with a 60Hz backlight out there too, although they're pretty rare these days (I haven't seen one new in years, but my sensitivity has decreased too, so I'm not sure I'd pick one out just walking by it unless I actually stopped to study it)
