I don't believe screens can help that much on a laptop. However, here are some computer strategies I use:
1. Electric - Replace unshielded power cables with shielded cables, where possible. (Desktop and monitor, not supported for laptops)
2. Digital harmonics - If it's a laptop, run off of battery & unplug the charger which can help reduce this. Achievable distances from the head: ~3 feet from monitor, 6 feet from computer, 2 feet from keyboard/mouse. More distance is possible with USB extension cable and longer power cables. However, if the laptop is plugged into power, those frequencies from the charger may get carried along the wires to your keyboard/mouse. So unplugging may be a good idea but requires longer battery life.
3. Magnetic - LCD monitor is typically lower in magnetic field than Big CRT's. However, it still has some digital harmonics. Keep a distance.
4. Wireless - Disable the wireless connection from the Control Panel. Use keyboard and mouse on USB cable rather than wireless ones.
When not in use, unplug all electronics from the source, or turn off the power strip feeding them.
