I was/am having the problems with eyestrain

I think you answered your own question. If you have eye strain go LCD and get used to designing at 1280. I did and have never looked back.

About 2 years ago my eye strain was so bad I was considering changing careers. Then I got an 18" LCD and pretty much every eye strain issue has disappeared.

Another thing you'll have to get used to is colors. They are different on an LCD, but like resolution it is pretty easy to get used to.
