Haven't heard of it, but it is only the screen you need be concerned with, and
the radiation from that should be blocked by a strategically placed aluminium
foil. All you physics heads out there tell me if I'm wrong. Or you could set
yrself up with a good laptop, or one of those lovely new deskmount LCDs. I do
get a bit worried m'self sometimes, wondering what'll happen to that bit lodged
b'tween m ears after 30 years of looking down the barrel of an electron gun. At
least with wearables there's no rational excuse to continue carrying around a
21" monitor, so I stopped. Anyway, the strap was making my neck ache something
chronic.
