Kevin,
I am also used to having large (21") high-resolution monitors. I tend to
experience *severe* eye strain when working for long periods of time on my
755C (10.4"). However, I've also used a Toshiba with an 8.5" screen and the
eyestrain is even worse. BTW, Toshiba makes the LCD panels for the Thinkpads,
so I _am_ comparing apples to apples.
Although it doesn't sound like a big difference, the 10.4" screen has 22%
more screen area than the 8.5".
