			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you still using a Tube display (CRT: Cathode Ray Tube)? If yes then you’re still getting the best response time, meaning that you shouldn’t be getting that double contour ghost affect on moving images.</p>
<p>Another kind of ghost, and this isn’t isolated to just CRT displays, is the kind you don’t see; the invisible Electric and Magnetic fields coming at you from the display.<br />
We know that the degree of worker exposure to the sources of these fields is increasing and so whilst scientists remain divided on the harmful effects of long term exposure a precautionary approach is advised. The symptoms most commonly experienced include dermatological symptoms (redness, tingling, and burning sensations) as well as neurasthenic symptoms (fatigue, tiredness, concentration difficulties, dizziness, nausea, heart palpitation, and digestive disturbances).</p>
<p>Our precautionary stand is to demand of the manufacturer that emission levels be kept to a technically achievable low level. We want low levels to be kept at your place of work. A tip to display users: when possible please connect the display to a grounded socket, since this helps avoid levels that will be very many times more if you do not.<br />
Harmful emissions may be a ghost you don’t believe in, but there are many that have, do and may eventually need to tolerate a number of sensitivity symptoms that can not be totally attributed to long screen time fatigue.</p>
<p>So believe it or not, if you don’t feel any negative effects then it could be thanks to the fact that you’re working with a <a href="http://www.tcodevelopment.com" target="_blank">TCO screen</a> connected to ground…since we know, in the ground is where ghosts should be.</p>
