Fw: Re: VERY noisy LCD Monitor. Any Suggestions?

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post, and to Jim k9YC for sharing the two .pdf links.

Maybe now I can make some headway - or buy a new monitor...

73,

Jim KO5V

Re: VERY noisy LCD Monitor. Any Suggestions?

I wish there was a list somewhere of monitors that are currently in
production and easily purchasable that are known to be quiet on the RF
front. I've used the remediation suggestions offered in this thread, and
have found them to help but not cure the symptoms I see. Buying and
trying monitors seems like it could be a very involved process.

Re: VERY noisy LCD Monitor. Any Suggestions?

I know it is really aggravating but many places offer a reasonable
return policy. If they don't, I won't buy. So......l'd buy one, take it
home, use it for a few days, if it is noisy or doesn't do what you
wish......take it back for a refund. Do watch for "in store credit" on
some merchandise.

Heck, I know of folks that will go to one of the "big box hardware
stores" buy a pressure washer or paint sprayer, do the job they need,
take it back as being defective and get their money back. Do check the
return policy however. On the other hand, it sure beats buying or
renting a piece of seldom used equipment. Of course we as customers pay
for this activity under the heading of "shrinkage".

It's one thing to purchase a product and find out it's not suitable (RFI).To buy something, use it, and then return it hurts us all. The big box stores force manufacturers to take these back and since they're used, they can't be sold as new and are written off. We all pay for that.I would get some new friends.73,Gary K9GS______________________________________________________________Elecraft mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraftHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:[hidden email] list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
