Monitor Inteferance

My monitor (pc not speaker) sceen is ever so slightly shaking. the reason being i have my TV next to it. Anyone know a home-made (aka free) way of stopping the interferance. I dont want to move my tele either

cheers for any help,

Nell

could be one of a few things,

a) the moniter is geting old
b) the moniter may need degausing, some newer models will do this if poweered down for more then 10 mins then powered on again
c) interference - magnetic sources near to the moniter - speakers, motors, etc or mobile phones/wireless lan/video etc or interference near to the moniter cable, i.e it goes near to a power transformer for pc speakers etc

i already know the problem mate, its my TV, i just want to stop the interferance without moving my TV away

Move the TV or get an LCD screen.

Unless you happen to have magnetically shielded casing around, which is used on industrial transformers and generally does not come in the "see-thru" variety.

ok, i guess no-one is actually reading my post. ill try being rude and type in capitals...

I DO NOT WANT TO MOVE MY T.V.

I WANT A VERY CHEAP / FREE SOLUTION

there must be some science boffin on here who knows a trick with tin foil or something

cheers anyway

MAGNETICALLY SHIELDED CASING IS EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT USED IN INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMERS

THERE IS NO CHEAP / FREE SOLUTION

Move the TV dude, it's not that hard.

Yeah, they use magnetic shielding in reference and near field monitors also to protect from this kind of interference.

fixed it usign my own advice lol.

tin foil worked!

ta anyway guys!

damn it people, can't you read the whole thread before replying?

tin foil would've been my advice

or a thin metallic net would've probably worked too

changing the refresh rate could fix the problem and then there would be no need for tin foil

Uh no it wouldnt, the problem is the RF leakage of the power supply. the power supply will still radiate at 60 Hz even if you change the refresh rate.

And Transformer shielding is just metal. Tin foil or a some sheet metal will reflect the RF noise.
