I wonder if desktop monitors are sheilded better than TVs in general-
to protect from intense electromagnetic waves at close range.  Or is
it that a desktop monitor has a higher DPI than a TV (basically color
dots) and limits the light output from having many, smaller holes for
light versus a TV having fewer, larger holes in the mask/screen for
pixels.
