Exactly right. There's also the issue of finding monitors that will run 
on 12-14VDC, so that they can be powered from clean power supplies. :)  
And you want a monitor with a VESA mount. Several years ago, Costco was 
selling a 24-in Samsung that runs on a nominal 14VDC, and that is 
reasonably quiet if its cables are well choked. 14VDC models have been 
disappearing from Samsung's product line, but there may still be some 
around. Also, not all Samsung monitors are RF quiet -- W4UAT gave me one 
with touch controls that turned flips in the presence of RF and also was 
quite noisy. He couldn't use it in his station because he was on a small 
lot with antennas very close to the shack. I tried using it for a while, 
but eventually gave it away.
