We've recently been having some problems in some locations (one near our MRI
scanner, another in a basement with an electrical transformer located
outside) with our PC monitor's displays getting 'skewed' (distorted) due to 
the electromagnetic interference from the MRI scanner and the transformer.

Our bioengineering department has tested the areas, and they are below 
standards for this interference for people, but the equipment (which is
usually running 24hours a day) needs to be replaced too often.

I've posted this message to a few non-related lists hoping someone knows
of a PC monitor that is shielded (I've been told Tempest shielding (used by
US Govt for computers that contain classified information) wouldn't be
effective in these situations) or otherwise 'tolerant' of this sortof 
environment.

Please reply to me, or to followup to this porting.  Followups directed
to comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.
