I do not have the model number handy (shack downstairs, me upstairs in
recliner with injured back) but I run a pair of 6-7 year old 27" (I
think) Samsung wide monitors and love them, EXCEPT for the times when I
run QRO on 40m HF which gives the capacitive on/off touch switches
grief. These monitors can be turned on and off via a touch with your
finger and when running a kW or a little more I find them turning on and
off uncontrollably as I talk via SSB. Lower power is aok. This means I
have some RF floating around in the shack but would not have guessed so
as only these monitors detect my HF operating.

This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

In the end I took my small portable SDR receiver down to WorstBuy, and a
couple of office supply places with computer equipment and used the SDR
to "SNIFF" the monitors on display. In the end the 27" Samsung's ( Flat
screen and curved alike) ALL models were consistently "quiet" !!!!!!! 8^)
ASUS was 2nd with only a few spurs The HP's and Dell's were by and far
the worst . they looked like a forest full of pine trees on the SDR
spectrum display...8^(. I did not get a chance to measure any LG's
One of the other benefits of the Samsung's is that the all use use 14V
switching power supplies . Subsequently I found they run just fine of
the main 13.8V Linear (Astron) station supply.. So no Switchmode noise
generators ( which is consistent with my war on switching supplies in
the shack and house where ALL the switchers have been replaced with
linear supplies). The Samsung power jack is not your standard 2.1/2.5 mm
job so I just cut the cord off the switcher and put lugs on the wires
and bolted them into the station 13.8 stack. A final stake in HP's
heart, the HP's are 19V units.
