It must be an older vehicle with a mechanical linkage (cable) between the wheel and the speedometer. As these age, the wire in the cable wears the lining of the cable and friction is induced. This causes the the cable to twist, and kind of wind up. When the tension overcomes the friction the wire spins within the cable casing causing the speedometer needle to jump. Then it momentarily stops while it winds-up again. This process happens very fast. Probably as you get going faster the speedometer needle settles down and operates smoothly - this is because the rate of spin of the wire in the cable is high enough to overcome the friction.
Replace the speedometer cable and your problem will be gone.

Do you have a fan near the monitor? If so, that can be the cause of it. If not, and you sit in cubicles, you need to look on the other side of your cubicle and see if any of your co-workers have anything plugged in that may cause an electrical interference with your monitor like a fan, a radio or anything that's plugged into the electrical outlets that may be close to your monitor eventhough it could be on the OTHER side of your cubicle. Another quick test you can perform, is to move your monitor to a different spot on your desk just to see if the shaking stops. If it does, than you know there's something that's causing an interference with your monitor where it's currently sitting. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Depending on the age of your vehicle, the spedo will either be mechanical or electrical. If it works off of a physical cable from the transmission, then the lubricant in the sleve that houses the cable could have broken down, leaked out of a crack on the sleeve, or the sleve could be slightly pinched or kinked somewhere. If it's electrical, you could have a mild short, weak fuse, or possibly even erratic voltage comming from the voltage regulator. Always the possibilty of the spedometer itself being faulty.

You have an electrical problem. There could be a short in the circuit or the device itself may have suffered some damage. Have someone look at the wiring first, and if that doesn't solve the issue, then you may need to have the speedometre it self checked. It isn't a big deal and it shouldn't be too costly.

there is porbably something behind your spedo that is causing it to stick or be too loose, therefore causing it to move at a nonstedy pace, youre best bet is to take it out and tighten it up a bit but do not go to a garage to get it done you payy way to much money, good question.

It means the car probably has a lot of miles on it and it's falling apart.
