| I have a monitor that is constantly on, I have had it for over 6 years and I
recently noticed my hair is very static, stranger's hair in public I find
cling on to my hair
The settings which can't be altered on the monitor are
H 53KHZ
V 84HZ
It is a 15 inch Belnea monitor, is this a health risk?

A static charge at the face of a CRT monitor is normal. As the humidity
drops with the approach of Winter, the static charge will become more
apparent. Nothing to worry about.

| No health risk, but a waste of energy. It's unlikely you are using the
monitor continuously, so you are probably also shortening its life without
receiving value for all the time it is on.

| This sounds a bit like one of those old monitors that had an
ungrounded power supply. Those things eventually developed
problems with power capacitors such that the AC voltage
could be on the screen and on any exposed metal parts.
You might just take an AC volt meter and touch it to the
metal and screen, and then to some other appliance and
see if it gives you an AC voltage. It is not all that dangerous,
but it can sure hurt, and it can start a fire.

No correlation with the monitor.

| I'm sorry but you have Belnea syndrome. More and more things will begin to
stick to you until you finally become a statue of magnitized metal and
static klingons.

Try spraying a little anti-static furniture polish on a comb and
combing your hair with it.
Possibly any laydees present might be able to suggest a commercial
preparation for static hair.
