[Scan-DC] LCD Monitor Question

[Robert W. Fisher]

While we're on the topic:

I  get a lot of interference from what seems to be my laptop's HD and fan.  I've got RG6U connecting my radio to a discone in the attic, and when I unplug the coax the noise goes away....

Any thoughts on how to reduce RFI from the computer itself?  Should I ground the chassis to the same ground as my antenna?

Thanks!

I've found that even with the analog VGA connection, there is a 
virtually no noise with a LCD vs a CRT. I was having a terrible time 
with QRM from my 19" CRT, and switched to a 19" LCD. Now my QRM 
problems are gone. The LCD was one of the best radio related 
purchases I ever made.
