Probably? It's not like screens shoot death rays. It seems very likely that looking closely at patterns within a rectangle has the same effects whether it's made of paper or electronics.

CRTs used to emit X-rays, so they actually did shoot death rays.

Any ray is a death ray given sufficient dosage.

And that was the day the Care Bears let their stares full power be known.

They are backlit though, that's a big difference. Not sure if any issues would be caused by this.

Is it a big difference? If you take the reverse of ray tracing, why would a light beam of given intensity and wavelength act differently on my retina because it was directly transmitted vs reflected?

[SpicyLemonZest]

Backlit screens are brighter than a book under typical indoor lighting conditions. (Although this doesn't really support the original point, because the canonical alternative of going outside is much brighter than anything you do indoors.)

Depends which game you're playing.
