| 191700 | 2003-11-13 19:39:00 | I have 2 computers at the same desk, and the monitors are close by, maybe 20 cm apart. When one is on, and I turn the other on, the other monitor goes nuts for a second, sort of like that deguass thing. Is this going to reck the monitors? |

| 191701 | 2003-11-13 19:52:00 | sounds like you might have some older noisy monitors, i have two monitors touching each other and they are fine and dandy, but another guy i know put some together and he was getting scrolling lines runing up and down them all the time. Dont know if it will cause permenant damage, but you could always try to put a thin steel sheet between them to stop EMI. Budda |

| 191702 | 2003-11-13 20:01:00 | It shouldn't cause permanent damage, because AFAIK, all that is happening is the monitors are affecting each others electromagnetic field (or something like that). | agent (30) | ||
| 191703 | 2003-11-13 20:56:00 | Sometimes monitors can happily reside next to each other and other times they can't. It seems to depend on the quality and the amount of sheilding present. Have a play around with different refresh rates and screen resolutions, some screens deguass as they turn on and that will impact a screen in close proximity. I have 2 compaq screens on my work PC and they play happily, however a compaq and philips on my home PC couldn't get along next to each other .... eventually I found a combination of resolutions and refresh rates that worked together. |

| 191704 | 2003-11-13 21:00:00 | Should I have a thin sheet of steel between the monitor and my head also? | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 191705 | 2003-11-13 21:34:00 | Yes Carefully glue the thin steel sheet to your head BEFORE sitting down in front of your monitor......... |

| 191707 | 2003-11-13 22:18:00 | No, I prefer riveting the steel to the front of the monitor, that way the radiation is stopped before it gets past the monitor. | agent (30) | ||
| 191708 | 2003-11-13 22:27:00 | Maybe they should start making monitors with steel behind the glass for extra safety. | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 191709 | 2003-11-13 22:30:00 | That's what LCDs are for, I think :D With TVs, you shouldn't really sit closer than three metres because of the radiation emitted, but computer monitors are different. Still emit radiation, but not nearly as much as TVs. |
