Speakers near an LCD / Vibration.

[JacksonVFR]

I believe to have read that speakers near an LCD are not really a problem, even if they are unshielded speakers. LCDs are not as sensitive to electromagnetic interference as CRTs, correct?

Second part of my question deals with vibration. Will using speakers up loudly harm anything (2 sattelites on my desk, one a foot left diagonally, other a foot right diagonally behind my LCD)? I also have my subwoofer inside the desk, which vibrates it a bit if loud. Can this cause me to discover dead pixels in the future or does anybody foresee any problem?

Thank you in advance!

Bumping this to the top. Anybody?

The speakers shouldn't affect the monitor either electrically, magnetically or kinetically (vibrations - I just wanted to use a new word).

LCDs don't use an electron beam to illuminate their pixels so having big unshielded magnets next to them won't distort the picture like it will with a CRT.

In theory vibration would be a bad thing over time but the vibrations from your sub-woofer will be in short, infrequent bursts. If you had a big bass tone playing loudly for hours on end day after day it might eventually cause some shaking loose of components, but you'd probably get annoyed with it and turn it down well before that happened!

I'd personally move the subwoofer to the floor - you'll get a better bass response and eliminate the chance of any damage due to vibration.

Have you heard how they listen to music these days? [grin]
