Sometimes my pc screen has this faint flutter or wave. It does not happen with any specific program. This just started about 3 weeks ago. Anyone have any ideas what this might be?
Thank you!! tbc

Sounds dangerous, but what does it mean?

Probably RF interference....CRTs are prone to distortion through fluctuations in nearby magnetic fields...mobile phones [cells] could be one source....

Whew!!! Thank you Jafo!!! I was really hoping it is nothing serious!!!

Or it could be microwave emissions caused by a phase inversion in the tachyon pulse generator, vibrating at the sub-harmonic level, in which case the monitor will either fry your brain or explode...

Speakers too close to the monitor can slowly cause problems and discoloration over time.

Fuzzy, what does that mean in English? I'm already in another galaxy!! I mean the exploding monitor part!!! Can that really happen?

NT...speakers are right next to the monitor, and have been playing music alot lately, usually I prefer quiet...so how far away would you suggest I move the speakers, just in case the monitor explodes!!!

NT...been playing lots of music lately, most of the time, I have it quiet...and speakers are right next to the monitor...how far from the picture box should they be?

Hmmmm...echo...

Speakers near monitors MUST be shielded...specific computer speakers usually are....if you are using non-shielded ones their magnets will colour-distort the screen....and you'll need to degauss....[generally an option in the monitor settings - buttons on front].

If they are unshielded you'll tell...if you move a speaker around in front of the screen [while its on]...and you see a dark shadow on the screen.

If so....move the speakers  a foot or so away from the screen...or more....if they are huge ones...[HiFi speakers]....
