If you shoot a picture of a TV screen, you have to use a slow shutter
speed, 1/60 or less.  1/30 or 1/15 is a good choice.  Otherwise you
get caught in the middle of a scan.  I suspect that much the same is
true of a VGA screen.  Set the camera on a tripod.

Oh, you're not using a flash, are you? :-)
