I have a background in electronics and measurement.
Me, too. Measurements are one of my favorite things to do, as you can see from the signature for my posts.

I did some checking with my multimeter and there is 60 VAC between my PC case and the LCD TV.
Maybe you have leakage current. You probably don't have a Simpson 229 Leakage Current Tester, but you can build a simple circuit to make tests.

there is 60 VAC between my PC case and the LCD TV. Both are plugged in to different 3 prong outlets. There is no ground wire on either outlet.
You have two 3 prong outlets, and neither one has the socket for the grounding pin of a 3-wire plug connected to ground?

Please make some leakage current tests soon.
