Screen Filter?

I have a 19" UltraSharp Flat Panel from Dell. It's a wonderful monitor, but even at its dimmest sitting, still puts considerable strain on my eyes.
Any recommendations on a good, fairly affordable scrren filter or screen protector of some sort? An online site, or a "commercial store" (i.e. Staples, Circuit City, etc.) is fine. Thanks.

Future Store or Staples are my recommondations. They're the stores I get my computer stuff from. Besides, a Dell computer exploded on someone awhile ago.

I have a seventeen inch dell and I'm not sure what brightness it's on but it doesn't strain my eyes unless I've been using it upwards of 5 hours non-stop.
Just try not to use it in a dark room. If it's really bad, put a lamp behind it, not shining in your eyes, but just so that the brightness of the screen doesn't seem too great. But hey, if you're really insistent on buying a filter, ebay.

I have a 20" with the lamp behind it, trust me, it makes a world of difference. I'll never go back to the whole "monitor being the only source of light in the room" thing.

I find it hard to believe that a monitor could be that bright. But still, if turning down the physical brightness doesn't help, see if you can adjust it through the computer itself.

I don't think it's the brightness that's causing this. Comuter monitors are inherantly irritating to the eyes because of how they work. They produce the illusion of solid objects by using a multitude of colored pixels that are too small for the eye to focus on. After a few hours of being out-of-focus, you can get disoriented, resulting in headaches, burning in the eyes, etc.
I would reccomend changing the screen resolution, that's one of the reasons it was implimented.

The screen resolution is at its highest, 1280 x 1040.
Hmm, and also, I never considered placing a lamp near the monitor... that's an idea. However, as Platinum Sun mentioned, it won't actually stop the problem, but perhaps lessen it.

I have a low brightness 14 inch laptop screen. It doesn't hurt my eyes. I'll trade you?

I know I'm reviving this topic, but I didn't want to create an entirely new one.
So, that said, any suggestions, or links, to some good screen filters out there? Again, I have a Dell 19" UltraSharp Flat Panel, and while it has done me well, with good resolution and refresh rates, even at the lowest brightness, it still has too much glare.
