Can someone tell me if this is really a cause for concern.

Shouldn't be too critical for the high-res monitors the mac uses-- they don't
derive their timing from the power line.  Same goes for multisync monitors.

It appears that all the hubub about radiation from computer monitors was
unfounded.  The much larger danger seems to be from the high frequency
SOUND that most of them emit.
