computer help: How much UV exposure can you get from a Computer monitor? - Help.com

LCD monitors don’t emit UV rays, nor do CRT monitors. Nothing can be transmitted in the UV wavelength, so CRT monitors are limited to not producing such wavelengths of radiation, and LCD monitors have nothing in them that can produce UV radiation.

Be sure to drink water and get up and move around every 15-20 minutes when constantly using the computer.

Marconius, I just wrote nearly all what you said lol had to delete it :D
So I will add this instead, the only damage that can occure is to your eyes if you are useing a computer for long periods of time, you are supposed to take a rest from the screen every 15 mins or so

UV rays from a monitor? Who told you that one? >.

I don’t know but, I worked in the computer business for over 20 years and ended up with cataracts. My mother also worked in front of a CRT for 20 years and also got cataracts. Genetics, who knows for sure? I know that when I worked in the TV industry one of the things we tested for was different types of radiation. With acceleration voltages in access of 25,000 volts we concerned. We didn’t find anything measurable…

You’ll probably never see anything either. EMF from power lines, transformers and wireless devices have dragged on for years with no determination. It can easily be seen in high power devices such as microwave generators but, low power problems will have to be studied for many years to come…

Red face can simply be your mirrors. It can also be as simple as your blood pressure gbeing elevated during long overexposed hours online. (for whatever reason your bp goes up online, hehe) Too much screen starage my new word can actually cause eplieptic convulsions if one is prone to them, as with any flashing screen. psp, texting, tv, other gaming systems, etc.. be cautious and monitor the amount of time you actually spend online. It actually can affect your health..look online for more infor with seizures related to over exposure online. Kinda creepy.

Don’t smoke pot while you’r working on your computer… :)

umm i’m clueless. so i’m no expert but the eye thing is all i know.it messes with your eyes and your fingers it gives them cramps which you do feel. but makes it occur much ofter i think i’m trying to remember my computer class in high school. but thats all i remember.but if you do find something major give me a shout cause i spend way too much time on the compt too

Having worked in the TV industry Quality and Reliability lab, I can personally attest to the fact that no radiation is emitted from the front of a Cathode Ray Tube. We ran tests on all kinds and sizes. The test methods were using a hand held devise to detect x-rays and to make sure that the radiation wasn’t in a band not detected by the hand device we applied X-ray film to the front of the screen for 24 hours. Some of the larger CRTs required acceleration voltages of almost 30,000 volts. Nothing was ever detected by our testing…
