A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

I assume it is an old CRT type nad not and LCD/LED?

Do you have speakers near your screen?

The most common cause I have found over the years is unshielded speakers close to the monitor.

If it is a Portable then it is not a CRT screen and therefore not prone to magnetic fields and no degaussing is possible.
