It may not be a bad one but inadequate calibration ; I personaly tend to set 
my CRT to very weak levels (~ 40% brightness, 30% contrast) for 
wordprocessing[*]. Otherwise, I end up with terrible headaches after a couple 
of days. I know that I must set the levels to 50% contrast, 75% brightness 
when editing pictures, on the same monitor, to have a "correct" display of 
what most people *should* view. Personalised preset levels recalled at a 
button touch is a must to deal with different types of work.

[*] and I use the so called "reverse video" which should best be called "the 
mode CRTs are intended to be used" (white text on black background), because 
a screen works exactly opposite to a sheet of paper, black being the least 
"excited" color, formed only by the metal shield reflexion through the glass. 
Looking at a "paper white" page amounts to looking straight into a light bulb 
for hours.
