If the flat panel and the wall are basically one, there's no eye-strain.The big ugly boxes (and even the little ugly boxes) present the picture out from the wall; however, they are not far enough away from the wall to defocus the wall (and other items in that general plane) behind them. Therefore, moving them out from the wall creates the short/long focus scenario that is better for the eyes.
By the way, the flat panel on the wall also does wonders for stereo imaging. I've never heard anyone suggest that a blanket be thrown over a plasma/flat panel LCD to decrease the acoustic reflections. Maybe that's why women prefer plasmas/flat panel LCDs. Seriously, how many times can a woman look at a blanket-covered behemoth in the livingroom/den before she goes nuts(er)?

Follow Ups:
"If the flat panel and the wall are basically one, there's no eye-strain."Not true. You do eliminate one source of eye strain because the eye will no longer struggle to get 2 different planes some distance apart in focus at the same time.
There are still some sources of eyestrain you don't eliminate:
- keeping the eyes at a mid to close distance focus for long periods. The screen isn't far enough way to be regarded as distant or infinity, which is what is required for the focussing muscles to be at their most relaxed.
- screen brightness can be an issue. I don't mean the brightness controlled by the brightness setting but bright as in how much illumination the screen puts out. Probably not the case for some flat screens but it's likely to get worse as screen brightness and contrast ratios improve.
