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.
