Unfortunately, almost as much EMR comes from the sides and back of the
monitor as the front. So while putting some sort of barrier on the screen
can be somewhat helpful, it's still not going to cut as much out as if
you just tossed the tube idea altogether and went with an LCD.
Actually, I used to work in computer retail, and I don't recall ever
seeing a screen filter that filtered out EMR. Ultraviolet and stuff, yes,
but not EMR. You'd have to use some sort of screen mesh - if not a solid
block - of metal to get enough for it to be really useful.
Mur!
