What exactly do you mean by 'connect them to the earth'? That is kind of hard to do in a room(if by earth you mean dirt). And Aluminum and Copper are not affected by magnets(At least I'm pretty damn sure of that, please correct me if I am wrong.). So wouldn't I want some sort of iron to do that? About the U shaped piece of sheet metal, how did that effect the field excatly? Where did it cut down on the distortion, and by how much? I've looked into mu-metal, which blocks magnetic fields, but it is like 3 grand for a square yard. Any of you guys heard of a Faraday cage? Someone suggested that to me, but it seems like I would have to put the monitor inside it for it to re-direct the field away from the monitor.
