I don't understand how one can make a monitor "safer", especially in the era of LCD screens with no flicker.
The largest component of eye strain is the brightness of the screen, make sure you have that set properly, i generally have mine cranked all the way down, also make sure that your screens are at the right height so your neck isn't in a bad position, and that you are far enough back from the screen that you don't have to move your eyes too much to see everything on the screen.
There isn't going to be a magical filter to make them magically never cause eye strain, staring into a light source for extended periods of time will always cause eye strain.

There are glare guards you can place over your monitor, but I don't know that I've ever heard of a monitor made specifically for this purpose.
Gunnar glasses would probably be cheaper than a monitor that claims to be safer on your eyes.
But, as the above mentioned, looking away from your monitor every 1/2 hour or so is free.

Come now I like sitting in front of my vg248's. I can put a picture of beach on the screen and its bright enough I think that i'm actually getting a tan as well while I dream about going there. 
But yea turn the brightness down. Best advice I could offer.

what is the vg248? and if you mean turning the brightness down, yes that an idea but i heard not as effective as the professional monitors?
The rule is every 20 minutes look away for 20 seconds at a object 20 feet away, it reduces the chance of eye strain.
Or alternatively, you can take a short break every hour, there are programs you can get which remind you, I believe one is called eye defender.

EIZO, NEC, Lenovo, and HP all make premium displays that the professionals use and can be less prone to eye strain due to their natural life like color. The display is only as good as the back light though and every monitor manufacturer implements their back lights in different ways and different outputs and has the most effect on someone getting eye strain. I have experience with using a NEC PA241w and can look at it for hours without the irritation. Hope this explains more and helps you with your monitor adventure.
