   They run at fairly different horizontal sync frequencies, so their
effects on devices should vary a little. You'd need some radiation
monitoring box to figure out which is safer overall, but I'd think
that any PC/Mac monitor that conforms to the low radiation MPR II
specs would be better for you overall.
