My problem seems to be solved :)
I had similar problem as yours. I used to get headache (only on left side) and some problems in the stomach by looking at LCD.
The problem was that if I looked at an LCD screen then it will not only give me headache, but make me sensitive, for 1-2 weeks, even to my laptop with very small screen. Going away from LCD for long time(duration varies) will bring things back to normal. The case was same with CRT.
I saw many doctors, but unfortunately no one seemed to find any problem. Then I started to search for a solution.
I formed a theory that since the pain has increased after my wisdom teeth started coming thus it could be the reason. I took a panaromic Xray and the head of the lower molar seemed to be touching the jaw bone slightly. I thought this slight touch might be causing inflammation. Or food might be getting to the bone through teeth. The inflammation might be spreading to neck. The region where nerves enter the skull is a very complex one. Moreover some of these nerves are indirectly connected to the eye. One possible theory is that when eye gets activated too much then it creates lot of activity in these nerves and possibly attracts some blood flow. This leads to the spread of inflammation that stays for atleast 1-2 weeks.
Another possibility is that the area contains lymph nodes whose function is to suck away inflammation from body. But, in the process they get inflated. There are 3-4 that are present on the each side of the skull. They might be getting inflated (near the nerves) and thus giving a painful impression that a small steel ball has entered the skull.
I tested this theory by having my teeth pulled out. Though it took some time (one month) for things to change. After 1 month I checked the LCD screen for 2 days continuously, but no pain  . Its not totally absent but I will call it rather as slight fatigue because it is nothing compared to what I experienced before. However, I will not confirm it, yet, because it has been only 2 days and I will wait at least 1 month for LCD trial to say that the problem is gone for sure.
The things that I did in last few months are to become vegetarian and buy an EMF filter for LCD screen. Though they alone didnt solve the problem and hence the teeth. Moreover, in past, I found that anti-inflammation medicine seemed to help thus inflammation looks to be the culprit.
Whoever has LCD problem should get their head and teeth checked up for some signs of inflammation in the bone or anywhere (especially on the same side of headache if it is one sided).

Re: My problem seems to be solved :)
Well, I hope it continues to work for you even if it's a placebo effect (the way I thought the old monitor from my basement was my own solution, until it didn't prove permanent. See my story on my website. Our brains have a way of playing tricks on us! 
I personally tend to lean toward your EMF filter having helped your issues more than wisdom tooth removal.
The reason I feel it necessary to emphasize this, is because I don't want anyone else who reads your posting to take any drastic steps such as wisdom tooth removal. I myself have gone thru enough of an extreme gauntlet with mercury amalgam replacement (this is a true understatement), and the hassle didn't resolve my health issues the way it resolved so many other peoples' issues. Had I only become aware of the lethality of LCDs long ago, prior to the hassle of amalgam replacement, I would have realized that the real culprit for me was phosphors (and "light"), more so than heavy metals.
As for wisdom teeth, I've had all mine removed except for one (several dentists advised I should leave it alone for the time being, since it doesn't bother me).

Re: My problem seems to be solved :)
Till now no problems, only some fatigue, but nothing compared to what was there before.
In any case, I would wait for 2-3months to confirm because my gum is in transition process and is taking time to heal. Once it gets healed completely, I hope that the problem is gone for sure.
And yes, everyone has specific problems and before trying to find a solution, one has to analyze carefully. One has to find some links : for example I found the link that my problems appeared when wisdom teeth started coming out. Moreover, I did not decide to go for the extraction of my teeth in just one day. It took almost 8 months. 2 months to realise that something needs to be done. 6 months ago I bought an EMF filter, but that did not solve the problem. During this period the problem continued to aggravate. 1 month ago, even looking at the screen (with EMF filter) for 15 minutes started producing the symptoms. I also got neuralgia which makes nerve endings, on skull, as extremely sensitive.(It might be similar to your fibromylgia, but I am not sure)
Do you have one sided headache (or more on one side than on other)? and is it the same side as that of your sole remaining wisdom teeth? Does it become better with anti-inflammatory medicines like paracetamol (+codeine or something). There was another one that made things better very fast, but I don't remember the name of the medicine.
Moreover, regarding different types of monitors: I think that each one has its own characteristics in terms of brightness, refresh rate, time constant (for LCD pixels) etc. Thus, each monitor can affect in different ways and can take different amount of time before symptoms appear. Moreover, later on it is difficult to trace the source of problem because for example when I used to look at a LCD monitor then it used to make me sensitive to my laptop, headlights of cars and other sources of light etc. Whereas, without this sensitivity(after taking medicines and not looking at the screen for few days) these things (laptop and headlights) didn't use to produce any symptom.
In general, I saw that new monitors created more problem than the older ones. This could be because of the change in technology, brightness and time constant.

Re: My problem seems to be solved :)
Hi, as a matter of fact, I get worse pains in my right eye (and right side of head), which is the side where my LCD monitor is, than the left eye/head area (where my sole remaining wisdom tooth is)!
And practically nothing relieves it except extensive bed-rest, in the dark.
If I eat popcorn in prep. for computer use, that helps a bit (maybe due to its lysine or maybe starch)?
... as does prepping with Similisan.
Maybe if I'd take bigger dosages of Ibuprofen, it might help. I never tried that yet (the most were 2 per shot).
As for codeine (or prednisole), I currently lack medical insurance, but a few years ago, when I was still insured & begged my doctor for prednisole (after reading the advice of Andy Cutler, who advises mercury-toxified people), the doctor went apoplectic on me. He'd probably have responded similarly re: codeine. Never mind that he did agree to Neurontin, which turned out to give me rebound effects!
That's how most of them are - hopelessly unreasonable - thinking about themselves, rather than our real pain.
DK, upon 2nd thought re: your improvement, I decided to edit this, because during those agonizing months of researching preparatory to my amalgam replacement, I read alot of testimonials regarding people becoming cured as a result of extracting their teeth (NOT NECESSARILY WISDOM TEETH). And conversely, I read of people becoming extremely ill due to root canal. (Read the book Tooth Truth.) So you may have a point, and maybe your bodywide nerve system has been relieved as a result of removing your wisdom tooth. However this does not eliminate the fact that phosphor radiation is irreversibly harmful. That's SEPARATE & APART from the issue of tooth infection. I.E. even people without any tooth issues are becoming zapped by phosphors depending upon length of exposure, intensity, proximity, lethality of computer system, protective measures, genetics, non-oxygenated environment & stress factors.
As for myself, it's not my wisdom tooth which is the problem. Rather the two (or three) teeth directly in front of it that are painfully infected (teeth #13, #14 and #15 and also #5).
No matter how many dentists I went to (expensive dentists) they refused to extract them, considering it malpractice, and never mind my pain. So what they basically keep doing, is merely "silver-plating" my rot. The entire profession, both dental & medical, is RIDICULOUS. I'd even broached to the dentist the possibility of permanently numbing those nerves with botox sorta like this idea:
http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:YeefCUz7SHcJ:www.docstolman.com/botox.shtml+botox+bridge+of+nose&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=us
but she said that for the time being, this isn't accepted dental procedure.
It's like the professions (both conventional and naturopathic) all copy each other - mass production - instead of "custom made" humanely to cater to individual needs.

Re: My problem seems to be solved :)
Regarding some update from my side: Again I am not getting headaches like before, but as I said, in my post before, it is always in the healing phase and is not 100% yet(can say that it is very close to that).
Moreover, in a recent test with a monitor that used to give headaches before: It does not give any headache now as I said before, but now I tested with different settings. I found that it starts becoming uncomfortable when I change the frame rate below 30Hz. It is possible that I had two problems before 1) getting low intensity headaches due to CRTs and LCDs 2) high intensity headaches due to LCD + teeth. It seems that the 2nd problem is solved. Regarding first one, I know that CRTs used to trouble me (nothing compared to what was few months ago) long back when there was no question of wisdom teeth coming out. I even found that it used to affect scores in the exam if taken after a long sitting in front of CRT.
For the moment I am worried about the other pair of wisdom teeth ( not extracted yet) because soon it will start to come out. If problems appear on this other side of the skull then I will think about another extraction.
In any case, like you said, there are unique and separate problems and in my case the nerve relief would be the reason. I will list some symptoms that I experienced before tooth removal: One unique point related to my problem was that it used to be bad even "after sleeping" and headache (initially distributed all over) used to get focussed on one point as if something got inflamed on the skull. Normally one would expect that things will be better after sleeping, but in my case it used to persist for days and even weeks unless I took some anti-inflammation medicine.
In addition, I used to experience throbbing pain in the eye and in the back of the skull. There used to be some slight swelling in the region joining the neck and the skull on side of the problematic wisdom teeth. From what I have read, it seems that throbbing pain is related to nerves or nerves getting inflamed.
In my opinion about things in general, these things like radiation, phosphors and even normal light are some elements with their own properties.
When something happens like:
1) some problem in the body (for eg inflammation due to teeth)
2) problem in the body due to long exposure to these elements
then we become extra sensitive. For example allergies are very much real ( I am also allergic to somethings) and allergies to phosphors is one possible reason. Other possibility is that after developing allergies, the body or blood becomes very sensitive and is ready to attack any external element that in turn makes it easy to get inflamed.

Re: My problem seems to be solved :)
I see you're analytical, sorta like me
I once read that inflammations in the body trigger an immune response.
So chronic inflammations can trigger chronic immune responses like a perpetual vicious cycle (aka perpetual motion machine??
Unfortunately, no thanks to the atrocious UNhealthcare system, it's not easy to get hold of prednisolone, the way you can get hold of aspirin.
If it had been easy to get hold of prednisolone, codeine & marijuana, probably many of us who suffer from neurological auto-immune conditions wouldn't have reached the advanced stage of suffering that we have.

Re: My problem seems to be solved :)
I found one interesting link related to problems due to wisdom teeth. The cause of the problems didn't show up in X-ray scan, but it showed up in a "cavitat scanner". It seems that the person had cavitations (holes in the jaw bone) due to jaw bone becoming dead.
