Hi,
I want to put my laptop near speakers that distorted the screen colour of a desktop computer (they are unshielded). I've put my laptop directly next to one and nothing happened to the screen - but are there any other negative effects from this?

AFAIK LCDs do not suffer ill effect from magnetic forces no electron guns in a lcd

Could be faulty connection on speakers or port that speakers connect to.

Check speaker cables do not have any breaks in them.

There maybe a fault on laptop.Does this happen when you are moving it about or random when stationary?

What speakers are they?

No. Its because of the monitors. I have my LCD monitor and Case next to speakers and neither is having issues. Aslong as you use an LCD(Liquid Crystal display) and not a CRT(Cathode Ray Tube) monitor. You wont have any issues with distortion. One tip though is dont put floppy disks near the speakers if you use them. Or hotel keys:P

Oh those crazy CRT monitors, mine went nuts when I had a fan on nearby. It's okay though, the superior image quality (imo) is worth the occasional prob
