Sounds like a ground loop problem to me.  in short, the LCD and the computer
both have their power cords connected to ground.  But there is a small
voltage difference between the LCD's ground and the computer's ground.  This
causes a small current in the ground signal of the video cable going between
the LCD and computer.
