Monitor for P3

[Jim Leder (Hotmail)]

Can anyone suggest a reasonable priced LCD monitor to use with the SVGA card in the P3? Looking for one that is quiet with NO RFI noisy power supply. The one I use on my desktop (older Samsung LCD) has to be unplugged it's so bad. Monitor does not need to be one of the gigantic ones, it will sit on a shelf over the radio.

Thanks...

I went through this about a year ago. I put out a post on the email
reflectors for several local radio clubs looking for older VGA and SVGA
displays that had been replaced by newer ones. Within a few weeks, I had
accumulated about ten displays.  I kept the best ones, gave away the
rest to another ham.  All were either 1024 x 768 or 1280 x, and all
worked fine with the P3.  I was able to make all of them quiet with my
standard common mode chokes. One has a PSU that is quiet on the ham
bands but kills FM broadcast.  A nearly new Samsung BX2250 "Syncmaster"
monitor that has touch-controls, has really bad RFI susceptibility -- it
goes nuts and eventually shuts down with only 100W on 160M about 25 ft
away, even with all the wiring heavily choked.

I bought an ASUS VS Series VS197D-P Black 18.5" 5ms LED Backlight Widescreen
LCD Monitor, and told the store I was going to bring it back if it was an
RFI offender.

 

I unboxed it, attached it to P3, powered up the K-Line and listened to the
background noise levels up and down each band with the VS197D-P on and with
it off.   I found that this monitor generated no appreciable noise on any of
the Amateur Bands.   It's been sitting on my operating desk ever since and
has been a great visual extension to my P3.

About three years ago, I bought a cheap little 720P 15" Insignia (Best Buy
brand) TV for not much over a hundred bucks.    They've dropped considerably
in price since then.  Along with being an HD TV, it has HDMI, VGA, Component
(RGB), S-Video and composite (yellow) switchable inputs.  It even has a
TOS-LINK connector, but I haven't tried that yet.   An outboard VGA switch
selects P3 or shack computer.  If there's any RFI from it, I've never
noticed.

I'd spring for a TV rather than just a monitor.  They typically have more
inputs and just a good a display.  Plus, they're great for keeping track of
your favorite team while playing radio. A quick punch on the remote and
you're back the spectrum display.
