I had headaches before I switched to a bigger/better monitor, too. (I
thought I was starting to need glasses) But since buying a 21" monitor,
I can't believe I did without it for so long !
Coincidentally, there's a terrific article on ZDnet right now that has
monitor suggestions, and TESTS for your existing monitor, to see how
well it measures up.........BTW, the prices on good quality units have
come down dramatically....Might be worth a look.

Here's the article:
