well ,
a few days ago i bought an LG Flatron L1750SQ 17" computer monitor screen. an LCD screen!!!!!!!!!!!!! (8ms refresh screen-sounds like its good)

the reason for this is that on the table that i work on which is
1.5 meters wide and about 70 cm deep,

will have 2 tabletop synthesizers on them

My JP-8080 WILL BE ON MY RIGHT, and the future spunky ACCESS VIRUS TI :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D will be on my left.

Therefore the synths will be fairly close to the computer screen.

I threw away my old CRT screen so as to not run into trouble with any sort of elecromagnetic radiation creeping into the synths cables.

apparently LCD screens are pretty good at not throwing around electromagnetic radiation.

Is that the case???????????
I DONT HAVE MUCH ROOM IN MY TINY studio room, so i really need to have these desktop synths where they are./

Should I have bought a digital LCD screen to make sure of no problems or is this analog LCD i just bought good enough, as far as electromagnetic radiation is concerned.

Are there any rules about these things.
I hope i wont stuff up the ACCESS VIRUS sound with these electromagnetic waves.

i have noticed desktop synths reasonably close to monitors in a number of home studio, so i thought well why not.

dont worry you wont face any problems.
i have the virus almost connect to my cheap lsd screen and it never gives me problems or interfear with my studio monitors.

Same here my virus is right in front of my cheap Benq screen, only like 7 cm away...works fine my monitors couldnt have been better;)

Juho: I kinda expected that. You somewhat manage to be even more predictable than trance music, which is a remarkable feat :lol:

Regarding lsd, never tried that stuff...it's just funny to read "cheap lsd" when referring to a computer monitor ;)

as well is there any specifications on how far in inches electromagnetic radiation is radiated from an analog LCD screen.

i reckon i could feel the radiation from my old CRT.
:roll: :roll:
maybe why i got dizzy
apparently those CRT's can generate as far as 5 feet, i think I read, and you should keep cables away at that distance.

Maybe ANALOGUE LCD's emit about 2 to 3 incehes (fingers crossed)

i am trying to sense it but cant at the moment-should get closer to it hey. :) :) :lol:

anyway to the bright TI future

yeah we trancers love our lsd screens.

I have a "LG Flatron L1915S" 19" LCD monitor and i have never experienced any trouble even though my Virus is right in front of it. Anyway the thing about CRT monitors is that they use electromagnetic coils to "pull" electrons to where they "belong" on the screen thereby drawing the dots you can see (did that sound too technical?). This means that it produces a a magnetic field around it. Try taking a powerfull magnet and pull it across the screen of a CRT monitor or a TV an you will see that the colours will look wird because the magnetic field will be changed.
LCD monitors on the other hand uses tiny LED?s or liquid crystal and they produce none (or very little) magnetic radiation. This is also why they consume much less power than a CRT monitor.

lcd screens don't give off radiation at all!

CRT stands for CATHODE RAY TUBE

Its the cathode rays that produce the radiation

LCD uses a normal bulb or an LED as a backlight and the pixels are lit up by running electricity through an organic compound known as Liquid Crystal.

Just thought I'd clear that up for y'all

think of it this way,
if they do expose rediation,i'l see you in the hospital in about 20 to 30 years from now treated for brain cancer. :wink:

Just one suggestion - try to plug your monitor and tower into a diff power socket than the ones running your synths and other hardware...

I had a situation just recently with a disgusting, very audible humm coming from the tannoys I am using atm. After trying various different rca combos and replacing 1/4 inch adapters etc, in the end the prob was just that the monitor was plugged into the same powerboard as the amp that is running the tannoys :roll:

cheers

Today at work I invented the way how Tomer's LSD display works. It's one of those displays that you lick first and then you get the image. I also called to LG and seems like they are releasing a new line of LSD displays. The new generation LSD displays are based on new LAMHW (Look At My Hand, Whoa!) technology. The estimated street price is 1299 euros. Unfortunately the new LSD screen is not available in stores..

Ahh, that's a similar technology to those XTC screens I've seen around lately; WTTWTN (Wow this tap water tastes nice) technology.

Hehe, classic Tommer. :D

actually, one other thing

i was going to ask for advice on whether the Electomagnetic radiation from at least 10 power chords attached to a power board,
(reasonably close to my computer)
could affect the signals from my Delta 1010 which are passing through the (Delta 1010 to Computer) 25-pin D-sub to 25-pi D-Sub host cable...

this host cable would be about a foot away from the power board.

wondering whether digital signals can be effected.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Power cords can interfere with digital and analog cables alike. As a general rule, never run an audio or visual cable parallel with a power cord unless it is at least 1/2 a metre away. The cables can intersect at right angles with no problem, but never run them parallel.

If you really want to get the max performance out of your studio, have a look at some balanced power solutions or power conditioners. A cheap way around this is to buy hospital grade power cables for all of your equipment. You will get better performance from everything in your system from the d/a converters to the quality of the picture on your screen (Will actually make a massive difference to powered studio monitors too). Electricity is a dirty messy pain in the arse and the more you can control the quality of electricity being supplied to your equipment, the better it will perform.

Or if you really want to get serious, get the power company to install a dedicated power feed for your studio, run the computer and monitor off the existing supply and run all of your audio equipment from this dedicated feed. 8)

maybe you lick it and then you start halucinating and emagining there are images runing on the screen.... :wink:

Hopefully the Virus gets one of those... maybe after you lick it, it becomes USB2. :lol:

Hopefully my virus won't demand flowers for its birthday, nor shouts around when I watch football after licking it!!! :D
Though I would get very angry if someone else would lick it after I did! 8O 8O 8O

Don't take gopal's advice or you will go broke. LCD monitors don't emit ANY radiation. Hospital grade power cords will make 0% difference to your setup. If all analog leads are grounded properly and there is no break in any shield, there should be no interference issues at all. Just think about a PC soundcard, which can produce nice, clean audio and yet it is sitting in the middle of the worst possible noise environment there could be. It's all about layout and shielding.
