I'm suggesting this because LCD monitors are "eye friendly" as they don't cycle the display like CRT monitors do. Many offices and other such work places move to LCD because very few people get headaches while using them like they do with CRT monitors. PAL systems run at 60Hz which also happens to be the same frequency of the human body - the two clash.

If you mostly use your computer for graphics and not much else then stay with just a CRT. If you use your computer for lots of other things as well then it's worth a thought...
Allow me to correct a few inconsistencies.

PAL employs a 50Hz scanning frequency and the human eye is fooled in to believing motion by more than 25 still images per second. PAL uses two fields to make one frame hence 50Hz (25 images). CRT monitors have been scanning greater than 50Hz for years and years.
