Does anyone know what would cause this to happen :
In my apt, I've got my monitor set up so that it's in my living
room, theres a 'window' to the kitchen where I have my Microwave. They
are around 5' apart. When I turn my microwave on I get a noticable
shaking on my screen. It only has happpened with my new monitor ( Dell
-
Sony Trinitron 19" model M991). Do I have anything to worry about as
far as ruining the display ?

The shaking on the screen could be either caused by the magnetic field
caused by the microwave oven (they have large transformers in them) or
because of the effect that microwave oven causes to your electrical
distribution (microwave oven takes lots of power, can cause noticeable
voltage drop on poor wiring etc..). Then there is possiblity of some
RFI getting to monitor because of some microwave leakage in your microwave
oven...

I don't think you need to worry bout ruining your display much...
