That is how I buy potentially noisy items as well...

I know it is really aggravating but many places offer a reasonable
return policy. If they don't, I won't buy. So......l'd buy one, take it
home, use it for a few days, if it is noisy or doesn't do what you
wish......take it back for a refund. Do watch for "in store credit" on
some merchandise.
Heck, I know of folks that will go to one of the "big box hardware
stores" buy a pressure washer or paint sprayer, do the job they need,
take it back as being defective and get their money back. Do check the
return policy however. On the other hand, it sure beats buying or
renting a piece of seldom used equipment. Of course we as customers pay
for this activity under the heading of "shrinkage".

I wish there was a list somewhere of monitors that are currently in
production and easily purchasable that are known to be quiet on the RF
front. I've used the remediation suggestions offered in this thread,
and have found them to help but not cure the symptoms I see. Buying
and trying monitors seems like it could be a very involved process.

Maybe now I can make some headway - or buy a new monitor...
