[Scan-DC] LCD Monitor Question

[Doug K.]

Interesting discussion - ya'll have brought up something that hadn't dawned 
on me... my scanners at home are right on the other side of the wall from 
the PC monitor (a Phillips CRT), and I do get interference there.  But... in 
the office, I have a scanner right next to a Dell Trinitron CRT, and no 
interference... fwiw.

This is great - gives me another reason to consider an LCD at home - thanks!
