No, for instance if we imagine a single user in a room with 31 computers
who constantly sit "spitting out" small messages on the network the speed
for this user will drop.

Yes, I remember MPR ;)
(I haven't seen any monitor with that on in the last three years.)
Anyway TCO-9x is not only about the local environment (IIRC MPR is only
this) but also a more longterm relationship between the monitor and the
environment.
Actually these are some facts about TCO-9x from TCOs webpage
These are the diffrent "versions": 92, 95 and 99
And I quote:
TCO �99 is the latest set of requirements in the world�s foremost system
for quality and
environmental labelling of displays, computer and keyboards, which has now
been expanded to include printers, faxes and copiers. TCO �99 is a
certification system that combines the requirements for a good working
environment, quality and reduced influence on the external environment. The
requirement specifications have been drawn up in direct dialogues with
users, manufacturers and trade experts. These requirements are revised and
tightened on a continuous basis.
Or take a look http://tco-info.com/readmore.htm for yourself.

It's rather funny to see Swedish cars in so many (US) movies. But on the
other hand they aren't owned by Swedes much anymore anyway :(

The monitor should also be grounded otherwise the new monitors will not
have so much less radiation than the older ones. (There's of course a
diffrence but not as much).
