Phil,

Did you unplug the  wall wart (or the monitor) from the wall? That PSU, 
whether external or built into the monitor, usually a major noise source.

ALWAYS, when offering (or evaluating) advice about whether some device 
is noisy, consider the possibility that the noise it produces is covered 
by noise from other sources in your home and in your neighbors's homes. 
Also consider proximity to ANTENNAS, not to the shack.

I work a lot of FT8 on 160M to work DX and on 6M to work new grids. The 
signal report is the signal to noise ratio. I run legal limit to very 
good antennas on both bands, and I regularly receive reports that are at 
least 10 dB worse than I give, telling me that most hams have horrendous 
noise levels.
