LCD issues

If one uses an LCD on battery only, not only is there no RF coming in
from the utility, but there is no AC/DC transformer issue. That takes care of
two problems. If one has not tried this, he/she has no idea how much of
his/her personal reaction is to physically connecting to the utility wiring and
its RF, literally.
Regarding the light, I do not get the readings from the screen that I do
from ordinary fluorescent lighting, which is of course a big problem.
Also,for what it's worth, I use my laptop with the light turned way up to max, and
don't get the symptoms that I do from regular fluorescents. Anyway, they
must not be the same.
Marc, have you spent any time on a not-plugged-in laptop? (Also no
phone line connected.) It would be interesting to know how that is for you.
There would be a magnetic field, particularly when the computer is
performing the kind of tasks that cause it to make little sounds. I would have to
check to see if using a detached keyboard eliminates this. It certainly
would get you further from the magnetic field of the battery itself.
(By the way, thanks for apologizing for the voodoo curse. Definitely a
toxic exposure!)

Yes, even just this past weekend I was setting up my wife's new laptop,
running it on the batteries, not connected to the Internet, and noticed
some problems after a while. Even my tried and true EMF devices don't
completely solve my problems with laptops. I remember years ago that I
couldn't even get within 7 feet of a turned-on laptop without
immediately getting a reaction. Obviously I'm much more tolerant
of them now, but I still have a lot of room for improvement.

" I remember years ago that I

Laptops have many devices that create RF requencies and EMF, the high
frequency signaling that goes on in the processor and memory are such,
but lots of EMF is generated purely by the hard drive (a moterised
componant) as well as fans.

Also - one of the big problems with fleuros (LCD Backlights) apart
from the frequency of the backlight usually being at 60hz at the 'just
perceptable flicker out of the corner of the eye range', is the huge
amount of blue spectrum in the light that is generated, it causes all
sorts of problems. maybe a celulose filter or sunglasses might help
there..?
