I'm concerned about the health impact from EMF produced by home/office appliances. In particular I would like to know if somebody measured the Electromagnetic radiation of any of the following monitors:

  • Dell UltraSharp U3011 30"
  • HP ZR30w 30" S-IPS LCD
  • HP ZR2740w 27" LED Backlit IPS Monitor
  • Dell UltraSharp U2711 27"
  • PHILIPS 27" LED 3D 273G3DHSB/00
  • HP ZR2440w 24" LED Backlit IPS Monitor
  • PHILIPS 23.6" LED 248X3LFHSB/00

I'm basically interested in the difference of EMF radiation between 24", 27" and 30" LCD/LED monitors. Still, vendors employ different technologies that will probably produce different milli Gauss of EMF.

Thanks for any input!

EMF has no health impact, but discussing such a claim does not have a home here. We do not do consumer electronics here and providing FCC tests on devices is not a good fit. – Kortuk♦ Sep 22 '12 at 22:26
Some people are hyper-sensitive to EM radiation, the same way as some people are allergic to mosquito bites and some are not. The topic intention was related to results of EMF testing on specific devices without any intention to discuss the health impact in general. There are many fields in which this topic can relate to this forum. For instance the design of the power supply can create different EMF intensity. – Marcus Frenkel Sep 23 '12 at 20:07
And if EM radiation is not real issue why Asus EMI shielded graphic card is advertised to protect health? Link: asus.com/Graphics_Cards/NVIDIA_Series/EN210_SILENTDI1GD3V2LP .

This is not a good stack exchange for fringe science like EMF sensitivity. A better discussion is at skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/7626/… – markrages♦ Oct 15 '12 at 22:21
@MarcusFrenkel You are discussing many ways in which things we do in design may impact what you perceive as a threat. This possible risk is not on topic here as we are not doing health sciences. This is why your question is closed. Secondary to that, the reason that someone will market with protecting your health is because they know that convinces you to buy it, that is no way impacts reliability. I have seen many products for this and some are just shielding, most are non-sense. – Kortuk♦ Oct 16 '12 at 0:12
