Well, I have an old Sanyo monochrome monitor in use next to my Seiko CM1450,
and have no jitter problem.  I separate the screens by at least six inches,
to avoid the predictable problem of distortion caused by magnetic interference.

BTW, the shadow bug is not unique to Seiko/Trinitron toobs.  I've seen it on
Macinabox II displays, and Sony's own Multiscan HG.  It really pisses my
wife off, and I'm pretty happy about it too.
