Im not sure what kind of interference you were thinking of but no there shouldnt be any problems with this set up.
Are you having problems you think may be caused by interference?
If your graphics card has TV out you could use the TV as a monitor and save space!

More likely that the PC would cause interference to the TV. Then of course game shows can cause a lot of interference to getting any work done!

NO, NO, NO. A TV has VERY low resolution (less than 640x480). No one is ever happy using a TV for a monitor.

i just was wondering if it was ok to place the tv next to my computer. some people said that tv have magnets in them that can screw your pc up.

The only magnet in a TV are around the CRT yolk and I don't think they are powerful enough to cause any problems..

well every thing is ok so far. i also forgot to add something else. the guy that said the thing about the magnets in the tv also said something about turning a tv on sends out some kind of electrical blast and when you turn a tv off it has a whole bunch of static surrounding the tv.

Same thing with a computer monitor.

If there is any magnetic interference between the two CRTs, the first thing you would notice is discolouration on the screen. I don't think there should be too much problems, retailers have been displaying television sets side by side for many years.
