Dual Monitor Interference

[Q]

Is there any way to shield my monitors so that they don't pick up interference patterns from each other. I recently set up my second monitor, but it is causing a very noticible flicker on my other monitor. My 19" is running at 1600x1200 at 75hertz, and the 15" is at 800x600 at 60Hertz, I've tried changing the refresh rates to see if that cleared things up, but to no avail.

The only way i found to fix(or at least reduce this effect) is to move the monitors about 4 in apart at the screen and about a foot apart at the back. So right now they angle in toward the center. This greatly helps reduce the effect to very tollerable levels

I have seen where people have put a sheet of metal (usu. a case siding) between the monitors

Hey. I went to a scrap metal yard that sells lead sheeting. It is about .25cm thich. I tripled it, sandwiched it between some black foamcore and attached it to another piece of the same wich sits accross the top of the monitors. It forms a "T". A little hard to imagine but the two 17 inch monitors are about 1/2 inch apart with the lead sheeting between them ans on top. This has reduced the interference to an acceptable level. A little obsessvie but hey it works!
