      Try to isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields such as other monitors, laser printers, fluorescent lighting, televisions, or electric fans. Also, move the monitor away from power lines or place a magnetic shield near it. Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit or try turning the monitor 90° to the left or right.
