[Elecraft] Monitor (OT)

[David Christ]

I have received enough replies to report the trend.  With one 
exception no problems were reported.  The list of brands was most of 
the mid to major names such as Dell, LG, HP, Acer, ViewSonic, Planar, 
ASUS.

The exceptions were Samsung.  Not all Samsung monitors were reported 
as problematic.  Many were OK.  An older one had display problems 
when the user was on 80.  This may or may not have been the result of 
RF in the shack.  No way to tell.  It seems the one to avoid is 
Samsung models with soft of virtual buttons.  These could be 
activated during transmission.  Units with real buttons seemed to be 
OK.

There are some mystery brands out there that were not mentioned so no 
conclusion for them can be drawn.

Bottom line: It appears that if you stick with recognized brands and 
avoid trick things like soft buttons you should be OK.  However there 
are no guarantees.

Thanks to all,
