I'm ready to wrap the thing in aluminum foil....
It's a thought. ;) Ok.. don't do that just yet.

Actually, having power to them wouldn't matter, it's the magnets. But, since your wife's is doing it too, then I doubt that's the problem.
I understand. Been there, done that.rt> Try setting it up in a different part of the house, just as a rt> test. Ugh. I can try that, but it's a 21-inch monitor and the box is huge will 6 drives and 2 CDs. The house is a typical old house with a narrow stairwell. Can you say hernia and fall down? I might try this anyway.
You mentioned a 2.4ghz phone. Try moving the base station further away.
Or.. if the cord is long enough, pick up the base station, and walk around the room with it. See if it effects the monitor quiver.
It really sounds like an EM problem. What's on the other side of the wall? Are there ANY electric motors, around? Anything that could be emitting EM interference?
Electric fan? I had one of those drive me crazy for a while.
There is SOMETHING in the room, or possibly on the other side of the wall that's creating an EM field, and screwing with your monitor(s).
That's why the test to put it in another room... I know, it's a pain...
Gremlin?
Poltergiest?
