Flat panels, at least those with LED backlighting, can give you an overdosis of blue light which also doesn't seem healthy for your eyes or general wellness.
For Amigas, which we don't run for eight hours a day at work, radiation levels or flicker shouldn't be a great concern. I wouldn't want to use a 1084 as my screen at work, that's why we have TCO certifications (which the 1084 never received).
