Why the importance of using an Ultra low radiation computer monitor?
People often ask if it is really important to be concerned to the point of requiring an Ultra low radiation computer monitor. The main thing to keep in mind is that a computer monitor is essentially an x-ray machine or cathode ray tube, which is sitting one or two feet away from you. Inside the device, there are voltages of approximately 40,000 volts. The rest of the computer, printer, and keyboard are simple 110 volt devices so they are not an issue. Back to the computer monitor, at these extremely high voltages the unit needs to be managed in order to make it safe. Manufacturers put enough lead in the glass so that the emissions of x-rays is actually not a problem. However, electromagnetic fields created by the fly back transformer and the yoke are very strong and regulated by voluntary standards called MPR II and TCO. These standards request extremely low frequency electromagnetic readings (ELF EM) readings of 2.5 and 2.0, respectively. Now the problem here is that at two milligauss
