4k monitors for the shack, late 2019

Tox
Hello all,

I'm going to continue to eagerly await a K4 for A While. In the
meantime, I've been reconfiguring a room to become my shack, and am
slowly terraforming it.

I'd like to pick up a couple of HDMI displays to hang on the wall
above/behind the rig and the computer I interface to it. Viewing angle
will be shaded, pretty much on-axis due to location, and it will be
right next to the entry of my feedline. Expected usage would be
waterfall/UI and pskreporter type apps.

What can people suggest for quasi-affordable *RF-quiet* 4k displays in
the 27-40" range? (I'm not averse to buying something like one of the
midtier Samsungs, but do not have enough left in the wallet to
consider things like OLED).

Bonus points for quiet 4k HDMI switchers so I can bring Pis to the party.

Thanks,

Scott

Why 4K? I own a half dozen 23-in 1920x1080 Samsung displays that
nominally use 14VDC, but run just fine on 12-13VDC. The major source of
noise for most displays is the switch-mode power supply (wall wart) that
provides that DC voltage. I cut the cable for the noisy power supply,
splice it to an old linear supply. I've gone a step further -- I run the
monitors in my shack from a big 12V battery that runs other ham gear,
and float-charge that battery with a suitable charge regulator.

Since I bought these (about $200 each), the trend has been to higher DC
voltage. Also, larger and higher res displays tend to use higher voltage.

Scott,

I've been looking at the following monitor
https://www.newegg.com/lg-43ud79-b-43-uhd/p/N82E16824025629  The price
recently dropped as it used to be in the $600+ range.

Watch the video on the LG site.  You can have multiple inputs. For
example your main computer and maybe the output of the K4. It will be
nice if and when DXLabs or N1MM can integrate dx spots onto the
display.  Imagine having the K4 plugged into a large monitor and a mouse
plugged into the K4.  When a spot you need or want shows up on the
pan-adapter use the K4 mouse, click on the spot and bam, the rig is on
frequency.

I'm currently running a Dell 34" curved monitor which has lots of real
estate.  I'm thinking real hard about the LG 43" monitor because of the
dual inputs.

Only Apple could come up with a desktop display that cost more than the K4.

For ham use in the shack it would be pointless (unless you have money burning holes in your pocket).  If you do photography/video editing or graphics as a pro — that’s another thing entirely, and where the market for this display lives :-)

Re: 4k monitors for the shack, late 2019

Elecraft mailing list
As I replied to Paul:
I'm not going to run out and buy one of those.... but in it's defense... it IS designed for high level video use, as in network edit rooms, or graphics design rooms.  It has many display refresh rates, so it can marry into various TV uses in many countries.  It's meant to be a professional product.  There are studios that spent that much on just a microphone, let alone a broadcast TV camera and its lens, which costs more than a car.
I solve the whole issue by simply not having a shack.  All my operating is a la portable.  So, I don't need any monitors.

In my earlier post, I forgot to mention that some displays are noisy and
some are quiet. Years ago, someone gave me a Samsung with touch on-off
control that was both very noisy and also turned flips when it sees a
lot of RF. Which is why he gave it to me. :)

Most noise from displays is radiated by the video cable and the power
cable, and that component of noise can be suppressed by winding turns
through a #31 Fair-Rite core.

One word....       ASUS.
 

 
Asus has a huge line of monitors...    many with external power supplies giving you the option to put them on a linear DC supply...

Agree - I use several ASUS monitors and they are all quiet!

I'd like to pick up a couple of HDMI displays to hang on the wall above/behind the rig and the computer I interface to it. Viewing angle will be shaded, pretty much on-axis due to location, and it will be right next to the entry of my feedline. Expected usage would be waterfall/UI and pskreporter type apps. What can people suggest for quasi-affordable *RF-quiet* 4k displays in the 27-40" range? (I'm not averse to buying something like one of the midtier Samsungs, but do not have enough left in the wallet to consider things like OLED). Bonus points for quiet 4k HDMI switchers so I can bring Pis to the party.

Re: 4k monitors for the shack, late 2019

Richard Eversole
In reply to this post by Clay Autery-2
You may want to try cheap 4k tv... Some under $200... Several under $280...
Some use dc connector. I was going to try a couple and see... If they are
ng then return... For nongamers these should be fine... Under $200 means no
roku or other bells and whistles.... Seen nonham reviews that indicate
picture ok...

Tv's seem to be rca and Chinese off labels
For monitors LG and Samsung seem ok

Re: 4k monitors for the shack, late 2019

Rick Bates, NK7I
In reply to this post by Grant Youngman-2
It would be nice if you want to stream video while in the shack; I'm
considering one also (but HDTV is much cheaper).  But one feature I
would need is decent PIP (picture in picture) to watch two things at
once (computer/radio and video source).

Two major things to consider are look angle and proximity.  If you have
to look up more than a few degrees, your neck will whine, straight ahead
is ideal.  If it's too large and close, it will be more difficult to
take it all in or you move your head...  consider your ergonomics
carefully, body parts resist movement, more each and every year.  It
WILL matter, in time (or now).

73,
Rick NK7i

Re: 4k monitors for the shack, late 2019

Clay Autery-2
In reply to this post by Jim AB3CV
Dude!  That's awesome....  One of those would fit between the uprights
on my shack desk/hutch with 0.2" to spare...  Most efficient use of
space possible in my setup... dual inputs....KVM...

IF ONLY it had an external power supply... :-(

Re: 4k monitors for the shack, late 2019

My antennas are 100ft from the shack. I don't pick up any noise from it.

Re: 4k monitors for the shack, late 2019

Clay Autery-2
NEVER buying another monitor with an internal power supply if at all
humanly possible...
There's more to it than where your antennas are... :-)

Re: 4k monitors for the shack, late 2019

W0CD
I have a newer Dell 1440p monitor that shuts off every time I transmit. It has an external PS. However, my antenna is in the attic and radio on the second floor ungrounded (rental home). Ferrite hasn’t helped so far.

NEVER buying another monitor with an internal power supply if at all
humanly possible...
There's more to it than where your antennas are... :-)

samsung has a good 32 inch 4K monitor with PIP but I don’t know about the RFI aspect.

Re: 4k monitors for the shack, late 2019

In reply to this post by VE3NR
I get many fairly narrow sprogs from my 50" Asus 4k monitor, mainly 20m and
above. The antennas are quite close to the shack, the sprogs seem to be
radiated from the front of the screen.

In the meantime, I've been reconfiguring a room to become my shack, and am
slowly terraforming it. I'd like to pick up a couple of HDMI displays to
hang on the wall above/behind the rig and the computer I interface to it.
Viewing angle will be shaded, pretty much on-axis due to location, and it
will be right next to the entry of my feedline. Expected usage would be
waterfall/UI and pskreporter type apps. What can people suggest for
quasi-affordable *RF-quiet* 4k displays in the 27-40" range? (I'm not averse
to buying something like one of the midtier Samsungs, but do not have enough
left in the wallet to consider things like OLED). Bonus points for quiet 4k
HDMI switchers so I can bring Pis to the party. Thanks, Scott AD6YT -- Scott
