Basic elctronics tel me, that when a electro-magnetic storm can have an
impact large enough to overload a power station, it wil influence your
monitor aswel.

My sony tv is mounted on an rotating platform, so I can view television
whereever I sit in my living-room. When I rotate too fast, I get a funny
coloured didtortion at the corners. And that's just the influence from the
earth magnetic field.

I
think there must have been a surreptiously installed windows update for
the
graphics accelaorator recently.
