I've seen the same thing; if you can't find an obvious cause for the jitters, 
try moving the system around a little.  At least once, on the road, I've had
a monochrome monitor jitter near one point of a wall in a meeting room and be
rock solid elsewhere; the best theory we had was that there were some heating
and air conditioning control stuff for the meeting room in the wall, and they
gave off enough of a magnetic field that the monitor got jittery.
