Answer 2

Yes, because they are usually coated for less glare, but just the fact that it's flat, reduced the glare. Flat Panel are usually LCD Monitors, and use a differant lighting, so they are less strain on the eyes, Big monitors use Tube Lighting.

It' has alot less strain on the Eyes, and more options to adjust the screen settings to reduce the strain on your eyes even less.
You should always work with a light on, you shoudn't use your computer in the dark, if you're worried about eye strain.

If you wear glasses, wear them while using a computer.
