Hold a bar magnet, a blow dryer, or another CRT next to your monitor, and you will see some distortion of the display. What's happening is the magnetic fields that control the deflection in each of the two monitors are interfering with each other. So case b) above isn't strange at all. The only solution is to move the monitors farther apart. Ross Werner
