In Reply to: VGA Monitor and flourescent light question posted by RacerX on 1, 2001 at 7:03 PM:
A magnetic field would give you discoloration but I don't know about flickering. Aside from that, a flourscent light doesn't have a magnetic field associated with it...hold a compass up too it.
The flicker could very well be because of the light since when you turned it off the flickering quit - but maybe its the ballast or starter?
: I have a small problem. The flourescent light behind my marquee is causing a magnetic field that is causing the upper right corner of the screen on my monitor to flicker. When I turn the light off, the flickering stops. When I turn it on, it starts again. Degaussing doesn't help.
: Can anyone tell me what I can use to shield the monitor from this magnetic field?
