You haven't recently put a desk-lamp which contains a transformer
on the desk near the monitor have you ?

I've got a halogen type desk lamp where a very small transformer is
built into the bottom of the base. If I put the desk-lamp on the table
next to the monitor then the image on the screen sways slightly from 
side to side.
