Just to reiterate my comments from 2 years ago... Samsung high-end energy-efficient super-(audio) quiet refrigerator creates extremely strong RFI every 5 KHz.....it's from the compressor, not the display...

A few months ago, I inherited a nearly new Samsung display from a fellow ham, who told me that the touch-buttons that control monitor went nuts when he keyed his rig. He lives on a small lot and runs legal limit, mine are mostly much farther from the shack, so I fired it up in my shack. It mostly worked OK, for the reasons noted, but not when I load up a 160M vertical about 25 ft away with 1.5 kW -- the monitor does, indeed, go nuts and eventually shuts down, probably due to a microprocessor crash.
