Did you also take electric field readings? If you are using this
computer plugged in to public power with a transformer, I am sure that an electric
field meter will show you are being exposed to a tremendous electric field,
which will contain the damaging high frequencies created by the transformer.
When I use my laptop on battery only, the electric field is very slight,
and contains no high-frequency AC. But plug it in and the field exceeds
the capacity of the meter to even read. Over 150 volts per meter.
The volts per meter are not the main concern, however. The damage is
done by the high frequencies.
Do you have an electric field meter? In this case you don't even need
one that can read high frequency. Because you are using a transformer, you
can presume there is high frequency.
ES PEOPLE NEED TO CHECK FOR ELECTRIC FIELDS CONTAINING HIGH FREQUENCIES.

Yes, LCD monitors are deceptive when they give a "zero" reading on a magnetic
field meter, because they have quite large electric fields.

I have found that LCD monitors also make me more sensitive to florescent
lighting. If I use CRT monitors during the day, I do not notice any
florescent lighting. However, if I use an LCD monitor, I notice the
florescent lighting found in stores, at work, etc.

Note that besides the AC->DC transformer that you often see as part
of the power cord, LCD monitors also contain inside the monitor itself
a DC->AC inverter (!), because the florescent backlight requires AC
power to function. So you've got two transformations taking place --
AC->DC, then DC->AC!

I'm hoping that future technology will lessen these concerns -- there
do exist computer monitors which use light emitting diodes for the
backlight and also as the main source of light ("OLED"), but so far
I don't believe there is anything that is commercially available
for a reasonable price.

And of course, I don't know if light emitting diodes will be an
improvement over florescent lighting or not.

I have now found, that for electrosensitive people, the GS units should be
less than 30 in stead of the 50, Stetzer advises.

I'm using a trifield meter and looking at readings on magnetic,
electric and microwave. I get absolutely no readings on anything
next to the monitor. Only on the transformer on the plug wire do I
get high readings and I try to keep it as far away from me as
possible. I took readings on monitors at CompUSA and when I would
put the meter on the magnectic scale I would get high readings on
certain parts of the monitor and background reading levels on other
parts of the monitors. The store had high background readings.  
When I saw that this monitor gave me zero magnetic readings on the
monitor itself I bought two of them cause who knows if I'd find
another like it. My trifield must not pick up the electric readings
and high frequencies you mention. I bought this particular monitor
at Home Depot as they were on sale this weekend. They ran out in
two days.
