What can i use to shield/block electromagnetic waves?

[psteng19]

My monitor is positioned in a location with a lot of EM waves, and i don't feel like repositioning it. But the EM is causing my monitor image to vibrate. (it's in the basement near the electricity gauge meter thingy, which i'm suspecting to be the culprit).

is there anything i can use to block/neutralize it? something REAL cheap?

I can loan you my tin foil hat....

Try some different types of metal mesh, get some metal screen stuff from the hardware store, or some other ferrous mesh.

holy crap i have this same exact problem, im in the basement etc. i used a bnc cabble for my monitor and it fixed it right up

Aluminum foil. Its the same "technology" used in shielded cables. It may sound lo-tech, but it sould do the trick, and look very retro sixties!

aluminum foil works for me! nice and cheap.

where do i go about placing the foil?
behind the monitor? on the wall behind the monitor?

thanks for the help.

I think your head will do a fairly good job
