ClearType with an LCD screen is helpful. ClearType does not work well
with CRT screens. Something else to do is to go to the advanced
properties settings of your video adaptor and lower the Gamma setting to
between .5 and .6. On an LCD screen using ClearType, this can
significantly improve the appearance and readability of text. The
colors will also become more "vibrant", less washed out.

I don't have any answers, but thanks for mentioning Cleartype. I
didn't even realize it was an option on my computer... what a
difference!
As the other poster said, I find it much less straining to use
something other than white behind black text, like light grey or beige.

Which contrast scheme is best for long hours in front of the computer
screen?
I have used black text on a white background for the past few years for
my programming work.
Recently, I installed a ClearType font from Microsoft specifically
designed to reduce programmers' eye-strain ("Consolas") which had an
incredible effect on my eyes; they are now much less tired after a long
day of work.
However, I still feel there is room for improvement. Any information
highly appreciated.
