I have also seen desk clocks, electric cord-to-outlet types, that when
located too close to the monitor caused the display to, how shall we say,
freak out.

the monitor to different locations in my office. After trying about four

minimal. I don't even notice the spasms anymore. The cause --
environmental. There must be stray electromagnetic energy in my office from
cables buried in the floor, walls, and/or ceiling. If anyone else has this
problem, try moving your monitor to a different
spot.
