Yes, I think they help a lot. They can be had for cheap (relatively!) on ebay often. I really think there is little else one can do to improve readability... that, and having lots of pixes per square inch (note that having a large monitor, say 19", with a so-so resolution, e.g. 1280 x 1024) may result in visible pixels, which could be discracting.

Thanks for the tip - definitely will be using that for references. My fav shortcuts are ctrl l for full screen, and then ctrl + a couple of times to zoom in so the doc fills the screen. Polarising filter eh...they don't seem cheap. So do they really reduce sore eye syndrome for too much time in front of a computer screen? Acrobat 7 has the split screen option – I just checked.
