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.

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displays that had been replaced by newer ones.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.
