Hi Mike,

My Samsung monitor includes the screw holes to attach it to a standard
VESA monitor mount. One of these has a little triangle next to it and
my ohm meter informs me it is connected to the VGA port D-shell.  I
have bonded it to the rest of my system via this point.

Now, I don't have a KPA500 or P3 (sob!) but it might be something to try,
