At work I have a 27'' iMac i7 and I am watching it from a relatively short distance. To give a rest to my eyes, I use a 40'' Toshiba display on a Mac Mini, and a Macbook (as a teleport controller - touchpad and keyboard and secondary display).....
Since I telecommute 2 days a week, watching the big screen from a bigger distance gives a rest to my eyes.... also the office has a horrible fluorescent lighting we usually just turn off, and at home I have a lot of natural light to compensate for the 3 "dark days"
... you do what you can, sitting in front of a box isn't healthy, but the change can actually make a difference
I'm not an ophthalmologist, but I'd hazard a guess that buying a few lamps for the office (particularly with soft, or white-light, energy-saving bulbs) would let your eyes feel more rested than changing to a different monitor at home. This is based on the horribly subjective experience of eye-strain caused by using monitors in dark rooms, assuming you have plentiful daylight in your office this possibly won't be a problem for you.
