I spend alot of time on the computer and as a result have major eyes strain. And recently it's been getting worse, so I do what any sane person would do- turn to an online forum for help.
What do you guys do to prevent eye strain? Lcd settings? Special Lcds? Tricks etc?

Howdy SR,
I'd second SW's tips, especially having the lighting off to the side, so it doesn't make the screen glarey.
Don't have the brightness set too high.
Sit a reasonable distance from the screen - an arms length with fingers extended is often recommended as a minimum.
Often overlooked is eyestrain from looking at a fixed distance (ie monitor) for extended periods. This website has some suggestions, including eye exercises, that may help relieve peeper stress
