TFT and MAgnetism

[Xrtaea]

I recently got a 15" TFT panel. Because of the room's lack of space i have to store the screen (when i'm not using it) close to a big 3-way hi-fi speaker (not magnetically shielded). It's about a couple of feet sideways/behind (diagonaly) to the speaker.
What i would like to ask you is if the magnetic fields can hurt the screen being placed the way it is.

I guess noone has any idea about this huh?

whatever you do, don't place speakers that is not magnetically sheilded beside the monitor, it can cause havok to the monitor.

Are you talking about CRT monitors or do you specifically mean LCD ones????? I know it can create problems with CRTs, it's SPECIFICALLY LCDs that i don't know about...

Not sure if this helps?

"The liquid-crystal elements of an LCD would not change direction unless very powerful magnetism was radiated. The source of light for the monochrome LCD used in the observation was external light reflected in a mirror in the back of the screen. A LCD does not use a deviation coil. Theoretically, LCDs should be little influenced by magnetism."
