Lead won't block magnetic fields. You need a ferrous metal like steel. Good quality monitors have enough shielding and are carefully built so they won't radiate EMF and can also shield against EMF from other equipment. I have a Mitsubishi Diamond Scan 15VX 15" on my 7300 and a 17" "Micron" (probably an ADI Microscan, can't get a look at the back of it right now) on my PC and they're very close. No bother to each other. OTOH, my anchient NEC Multisync Plus (with both HDB15 and BNC connectors, supports every mode from CGA on up to ???) absolutely "pollutes" the local airspace with EMF, enough to give the Mitsubish screen the ripples. The NEC weighs a ton and even has its own cooling fan, yet it's only a 15" monitor. (Looks like those regulations have done some good, even if they were "suggested" for totally bogus human health reasons!) I've been trying to decide if it's worth upgrading the CRT in the NEC to a .28 dot pitch one from the .3something it has. I know a guy who can do it and do it right for a really good price, but he's awful slow... You just don't find these "all in one" monitors in good shape anymore! ===== "I'm sorry, but you can't list fish as 'durable goods' in your GDP statement."
