HID Ballast within 5 feet of LED TV, safe?

[Elements001]

I just bought a new LED Sony tv and its about 5 feet away from a couple ballasts I have running. one 400 MH (old magnetic) and a 600 HPS (digital).

Are there any issues that could arise from me using this tv by the ballasts? My old tv was LCD I believe and was about 8 feet away from the ballasts and seemed to be fine after a year of continuous use.

I just spent a good amount of money on the tv and dont want to do anything to mess it up. There are already 2 pixels that are lit up wrong and they are sending someone next week to take a look at it and fix it. Wondering if there could be any issues, or if the guy will try to blame my ballast. (pixels are on the opposite side of the tv though, couldnt be from the ballast.)


Any and all info would be much appreciated. I couldnt find anything anywhere really, just that some ballasts can cause interference with radio signals but I wouldnt think that would be an issue.

Oh yeah, its a smart tv if that makes a difference.

New (quality) electronic ballasts are better shielded and alot better about EMI/RFI than they used to be, it's highly unlikely that you'll have a problem.

Also, I don't think LED TVs have that thing where you can screw them up and make them look weird with magnets, so I feel like it wouldn't mess it up like an old school TV. Btw, I know fuck-all about televisions, so you might want to ignore everything but the first sentence, hahaha.

*edit: Even if your ballast was messing up your tv, it would mess up alot more than two pixels.
