The problem: The monitor I purchased with my computer system is not
class B rated.  In order to avoid power surges from the monitor 
frying the circuits inside the computer, I do not plug the power cord
from the monitor into the back of my computer.  I plug both the computer
and monitor into a surge-protecting power strip.  Since the monitor is
not class B rated, interference leaks into the house electrical supply
and messes up TV reception (we have no cable).

Is there a filter I should use on the monitor and if so where I would
I find it and what should I ask for?  All i know about electricity is
that it comes out of the wall socket, so I could really use some help.

Thanks,

Jim Mumper
