- LCDs don't use electron beams to form the images. Speakers have magnets that can affect the electron beam to cause mis convergence. LCD's have fixed pixel openings that light shines through so magnetic fields shouldn't affect them. You should be able to test it though. If you move the speakers away do the lines disappear?
Or you can try a LCD test program that allows you to put up a solid color image on the monitor to look for defects.
