Make sure that wall socket that the monitor/computer are connected too are grounded. I have seen older computer monitors that had anti static screens in front with a ground wire to the computer, but i dont think you should have to go to that extreem with a new one. I would also make sure the monitor cable to the computer is connected firmly and use the screw downs to make a reliable, solid connection.

Hello Paul, and Monk
I just verified that the outlet that the computer power strip is plugged into is actually grounded. I have also removed the monitor plug from this strip and put it directly into the second receptacle of the very same grounded outlet.
It has been suggested that I try an anti static screen in front with a ground wire to the computer. Perhaps I should try that, or maybe return this monitor and buy a different brand. The problem is, now Im extremely curious.
Monk suggested Endust, but Im afraid if my wife sees that I use it on the computer, shell want me to do more of her work.. haha.
Another Tech guy replied to this and suggested that perhaps there were some environmental changes in the computer area. There were none that I can think of, except the heat in the house, as winter is approaching, there is more heat being used.
Any other suggestions??
Thank you, sincerely,
Don
