magnetic interference?
by linkit Sep 17, 2005 1:48PM PDT

If your monitor is a CRT, try moving electronic devices (speakers, amplifiers, etc.) away from your monitor. Many unshielded/poorly shielded electronic devices can produce a magnetic field that will deflect electrons from the elelctron gun in a CRT. This can look like a cloud or a faint rainbow in a portion of the monitor.

Guessing?

LCD? What else?
Wonder why someone would not list the monitor and the kind or manufacturer in the first place with their post?
I have a Viewsonic G90fb CRT that I love. Great color and clarity. Not the best in the world, yet great for me!
No blue spots anywhere.

Not a bad question to start with from the poster.
Need more info, I agree.
