The main computer in my shack is an HP Z800 Dual Xeon workstation with 2 Nvidia Quadra cards. Originally I had it set up with 2 HP ZR2440W 24" screens at keyboard level, and 1 Viewsonic 28" screen above (on a stand). The Viewsonic died a couple years ago, and I replaced it with an LG 49" TV (4K UHD - model UJ6300). I split the 49" up into 4 logical 2k 24" windows, so I now have the equivalent of 6 x 24" screens. I can use it for multiple purposes, including watching sports on the 49" screen (remember the days when we had sports??).
The only issue I have is that one (just one ...) of the 2 HP ZR2440W radiates a spike on 17 meters. Not too serious, but rather weird. On my 2 other computers, I am using 24" screens from "V7" a house brand of Ingram-Micro. No problems with either of them. 73 Lyn, W0LEN -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Phil Kane Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2020 11:13 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Computer Monitor Recommendations On 6/13/2020 8:54 AM, Mark Goldberg wrote: >> I went with a 50" 4K TV (LG from Costco ~US$300) mounted to the wall >> behind the operating desk.

No EMC issues I can detect. I recently had to replace my 6-year old failed monitor and I settled on a 27" LG HD monitor (the largest size that could fit on the desk) because I didn't need 4K. $159 at Costco. It was the next-to-last on the shelf. The guy there said that large screen monitors were going very fast because the work-at-home folks were realizing that a 15" laptop screen just doesn't cut it for all-day use. No EMI that I can detect by on-off testing (there's plenty from other nearby sources). 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to l...@lnainc.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
