As for the fuzz, does it get worse the longer it is left on? It could just be a degaussing issue. You didn't mention what kind of monitor you have, but CRT displays often have a degauss button or a degauss option in the menu.

If you're on an outlet that shares power, turning on a blender or other such devices often cause disruptions in the smoothness of power. Using a UPS or power bar that evens out the supply could help.

i am using the old steel cased apple cinema display..... i have 2, the problem with the fuzz happens connected to either one of them.... when the problem comes, it doesn't go away until i do the disconnect and reconnect if the display

with regards to using the kensington product, what sort of adapter would i use to convert the display cable from the monitor into USB?
