I should have gone into more detail about my explanation. The offending
lamp didn't actually damage the monitors but caused the disturbance. After
replacing 2 monitors (which were OK in another location), I got suspicious
and unplugged the lamp and voila! the jittering disappeared. This lamp was
not used (no bulb in it ) but was turned on. I hope this clears things up a
bit.
This problem also has occurred in some mobile test stands we built which had
a blower motor near the monitor (relocated the blower motor).
